I guess ‘Queries’ is the best section to post this to.
I have several thousands of lines of data which I wish to manipulate programmatically, if at all possible.
I think that all of the possible permutations are summed-up by the following examples :
123 A text string
2-8 Another text string
A-C Another text string here
3-20 And some more text
3A-126B More text
Some text without any numbers or letters at the left
What I need to do is :
Move the alphanumeric data at the left to the right. So the data would end up looking like this :
A text string 123
Another text string 2-8
Another text string here A-C
And some more text 3-20
More text 3A-126B
Some text without any numbers or letters at the left
I suppose it hinges on identifying where the first space in from the left appears, cutting the string at that point, and
Is this possible, programmatically ?
Thank you in advance for any help offered.
Best wishes,
Al
