Extracting Data via Calculation

[beckham]

Can anyone advise please?

I have field data in the form of (7 digit + 4 digits + 5 digits) (1111111-12-11111)

I want to automatically separate this string into 3 separate fields... I have discovered how to so with the 1st 7 Using "right" (Field name 7) and likewise for the "left" 5 Digits

How can i grab the middle 4 (-12-) in my example.

Thank you for any help offered.

Use the Middle() function, of course:

Middle ( Yourfield ; 8 ; 4 )

assuming you want the hyphens, too (which seems strange).

Thank you comment, thats great!

The hyphen request is strange but these are requested by the department i am providing this data to.

kind regards
