Hi all,
I have a string which I need to parse out and find the position of the first integer in it, like to parse out 'ATM3/0/0' into 'ATM' and '3/0/0'. Does anyone know an easy way of doing it??

something like this works
select SUBSTR('ATM3/0/0', 1, INSTR(TRANSLATE('ATM3/0/0', '0123456789', '^^^^^^^^^^'), '^') - 1),
SUBSTR('ATM3/0/0', INSTR(TRANSLATE('ATM3/0/0', '0123456789', '^^^^^^^^^^'), '^'))
from dual
the ^ character I have used is any character that is definately not going to be in the string you pass it.

Thanks a lot Mike.
It works like charm.
