Hi All,

I've got a unique situation where I need to convert an alpha field containing 
acreage information as follows:

input field is 12A and is formatted '5.034A'  I need to place this in a field  
9,4.

output field 9 4S I'm assuming would be formatted 00005.0340

How would I go about scrubbing this?

TIA,
   Ted
