Where there are no rules in place then the only real solution imho is ascreen program where you can present the comment to a clerk who can thendelete every character that is not an invoice #?

Well this is the picture. Don't ask why, but we get some info
from abroad. They put invoice numbers in a comment field. The comment
field can have normal comment info (not invoice number) but when there is
the invoice there, I need to put this in some other work file.

The len. of this comment field is 40.

It is not uniform. The ways it is there are:

INVOICE# XKC03J143L
INVOICE # XTG05K023L
INVOICE #   XSC06A016L
INV# XKC03G091L
INV. XTC05L053L
INV 5400960
INVOICES XTC05F008L AND XTC05F012L (in this case, I want to write 2 records)
INVOICE XTC05F009L
INVOICE #'S 2107071, 2107073 & 2107079
INVOICE #'S XSC04H008L & XTC04H021L

IN addition, there are several spelling mistakes on the word Invoice, but
these are not my concern ( I was thinking how to take the file, run it in
Microsoft spell check, perhaps someone has done this?).

Any thoughts on the coding would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Steve
