	This should work. Replace str with your field. numbervar i; stringvar result; for i := 1 to len(str) do (if isnumeric(mid(str,i,1)) then result := result + mid(str,i,1) ); result;

	Hi again. Thx so much for responding. However, something still isn't quite right. I entered in the formula as basic syntax and it's telling me "a statement is expected here" for numbervar When I tried it as crystal syntax it is taking the very first part # and repeating it: my first few part #'s are: 10993 11273 11399 11399B EQI#10831-03 The result I am getting for every line is: 1099310993109931099310993 should there be an end if or something to tell it to stop and the move to the next line? I know we're close to solving it. I really do appreciate your time.

	One, it is not basic syntax but crystal syntax. (the := for assignment statements is a easy give away). I am not sure where you are putting the formula (group header, detail, etc.). You may need another formula to clear out result (group header?). You may need to create another detail line above where you are displaying the result and put the clear formula there (you can suppress that detail line). i.e., stringvar result := "";
