I have a field that I am trying to seperate into alpha and numeric.

Examples would be:

"C 123456"
"1234567C'
"C1  12345678"
"C123456"

I want any alpha's in one field and any numerics in another alpha field.  I 
will use Barbara's GETNUM to convert the numeric portion
to a real number later.

What's the best way to do this?
