	Hi Team, I'm having one field name called "Description", it does't contain fixed lenght data. With in this I want to take out the IP address and should show it in one column. I tried substring and split function options, but these are only for fixed length data.. do we have any other option to find out this?? plz help Regards, Aneel

	as far as I know, neither substring nor split cares about length. The issue is being able to find the data that you want and determining where that data ends. Instr() should be able to find the start of the information, maybe the end as well, Mid() can use the info from Instr() to select the piece of information that you are looking for. HTH

	And do not forget using Len() to find the lenght of a string. Very helpful if you want to split off part of a string using the above functions.
