VBA Code Tweak

[TextMonkey]

Hi all,

I have a Macro I'm using to tidy up a text export from another program. The line below looks for specific product codes, then extracts the various fields.

However, we have now introduced a whole host of new product codes which begin with a vast range of characters. Is there a way I tweak the first line of the code below to say thet "If there are any numeric values within the first eight characters of each line, extract"?

you could use regex to check that this checks if there is at least 1 numeric value in the given string
so if you pass the first 8 chars of your string to the Function then it will return true if there is a number and False if not
you need to make a reference to Microsoft VBscript Regular Expressions 5.5 to run the code

A second way would be to loop through the string and check for number with isnumeric that would not need any reference
