Searching for a string in an array of strings

Which is right...the code starts at position 5 in the string, using MID() this could work...the REAL problem is, you have no way to define code size or position, it may not be separated,...Have notes at least got some consistency, so we can get rid of them before we look for the code?...with your sample it is easy, but, from your answer to my question, it's not going to be that simple
