Functions! Use -real(substr())- and/or -mod()-. Nick n.j.cox@durham.ac.uk Marcus Casey, Ph.D. Perhaps someone could help me with this. I have an identifier with the following form: 17031010100. I to separate this number into three parts for three different variables: 17, 031, 10100. What is the best way to do something like this?
