Hi Donald,

>What's a good algorithm for removing numeric information out of text fields or vice versa?

If all you want is to remove certain characters, you can use CHRTRAN() in either way:

a) remove certain characters: CHRTRAN(string,"123456789","")

b) remove anything else but certain characters: CHRTRAN(string,CHRTRAN(string,"123456789",""),"")
