No of Digits

["Chundi Reddy" <chundi.reddy@xxxxxxx>]

Hello Netters

Here is two Questions. If anyone knows answer, I will be elated.

1. Can we find the number of digits in a Character string ?
Ex:  '  34  '   - The answer is 2(two digits are there).

2. Can we find the numeric value in a string ?
Ex:  '  34   '  - The numeric value is 34.

There will be leading and tralining blanks in the character field. Its not
an array element.
We can find using Data Structure but I need special function if any.

If you know any OPCODE or Built in function for the above two problems,
Please let us know.

I will be too happy.

Thanks
Naren Reddy
