RE: Extract some numeric fields from a string

["Dennis Lovelady" <iseries@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I would use %SCAN to locate the field... then add the length of the field
name + 1 to the scan result.

Then I'd use atof.

    result = atof(p) ;

 to pull the data for me.  atof() knows what to do, and no hassle.
