Oops!
I meant to say:

Mid$(MyString,InStrRev(MyString," ")+1)
 
(looks like somebody has a case of the Mondays)

Hi Terri,
If you are trying to extract the last word from the string, you could use
InStrRev to do this:
Right$(MyString,InStrRev(MyString," ")+1)

I know this is very easy, but I can never remember exactly how to do this.
I need to parse off some data from the end of a string.  For example, the
string:
 
FLDR T TAB M CLIP#5 BLUE 11PT; 2 PLY STRAIGHT CUT 250/CS
 
I want to parse out "250/CS".  How do I set up the code to do this?  This
info is always going to be at the end of the string.  
 
Thanks for your help.  If there is a website or information that I can put
in my files as to how to work with strings, I could reference that in the
future.
