    Text lookup

    Hi There,

    I would like to search for a keyword in a text filed and return the subsequent numbers. For example, within a text string there is "MemberID". I would like to capture the following 10 characters after the word MemberID appears.

    Any thoughts?

    Thanks,
    Mike
