@olehr Can you provide an example of what your desired output is? That will determine how to best go about parsing the input.

Hi olehr,

 

I think there's a fairly simple solution to your problem, just add a Data Cleansing tool where you remove letters and whitespace and a select tool where you change the type to an integer.

 

Good luck!

Thanks, 

 

I do not know why I did not think of the Data-Clensing tool.  Thanks for the reminder!

 

Kind regards.
