Hi All - i would greatly appreciate some help with a query...
I have a text field, 2 samples here below...
CSLS7_06- SL Chrome Super High Res, 7" x 0.060"
CSLS12_09- SL Chrome Super High Res, 7" x 0.090"
This is a product, square plate with a thickness. I need to work out the square inch of the plate, so that i can then multiply it by the quantity field to find out the total sq ".
Question - how do i read this text field and pick out just the numbers i require? I presume i want to search the string for the first ' " ' character, and then use the 2 preceding ones, and change it to a numeric value so that i can use it in a multiplication.... ??
