HI, I've tried to sort this without success, and probably because I'm not clever enough,

I wish to extract the number, which may be a one to three digit number, from a field like

Albert Street - Segment 2 33

The only thing that is guaranteed is that it is the number directly after the word Segment. In the above I only want the 2.

I am sure that there is a simple answer and that I will kick myself later.

Thanks for any help

Matthew

I am sure that there is a simple answer

I am not. Will there always be a space between "Segment" and the number? And will there always be a space following the number?

Yes. The number will always be separate.

Try =

Let ( [

pos = Position ( text ; "Segment " ; 1 ; 1 ) ; 

w = WordCount ( Left ( text ; pos - 1 ) )

] ;

Case ( pos ; MiddleWords ( text ; w + 2 ; 1 ) )

)
