    12.450X5.65-13.476x12.89

    I need the 13.476 out of the above string


    the data look like this

    23.5625X11.375-11.125x19.5625
    5.625X17.25-2.875x14.5

    This is what I have I just can't get it to come out right
    <code>
    If instr(Trim({Flat_panel1.jmaPartShortDescription}), "-") <> 0 THEN
    If instr(Trim({Flat_panel1.jmaPartShortDescription}), "x") <> 0 Then
    startPos1 = instr(Trim({Flat_panel1.jmaPartShortDescription}), "x") - 1
    Stileandrail = right(Trim({Flat_panel1.jmaPartShortDescription}),startPos1)
    Else
    Stileandrail = Trim({Flat_panel1.jmaPartShortDescription})
    End IF

    xposition = instr(Stileandrail, "x")
    startpos2 = len(Stileandrail) - xposition
    formula = Right(Stileandrail,startpos2)
    </code>

    I'm not a crystal expert, but why not use mid() to extract the required info. Something along these lines (not tested and not complete)
    Code:
    str1 = instr({Flat_panel1.jmaPartShortDescription}, "-")
    str2 = instr({Flat_panel1.jmaPartShortDescription}, "x")
    
    if str1<> 0 then
        if str2 <> 0 then
           number = trim(mid({Flat_panel1.jmaPartShortDescription}, str1 + 1, str2 - str1 - 1))
        else
           number = trim(mid({Flat_panel1.jmaPartShortDescription}, str1 + 1))
    ....
