SPLIT (string, format, variable1 [, variable2, ..., variablen])

The string expression to numeric with using "% n"

A bit tricky...

I have real life example from the library I have made some time ago...

They had the types of the object defined with numbers (so had to be strings)
And for some reason I had to get those numbers...

VALUES "TYP" 	"E 104500", "E 104510", "E 104520"  (and so on)

NN=SPLIT (TYP, "%s %n", TYP_L, TYP_NUM)

TYP_NUM6=(TYP_NUM-(TYP_NUM MOD 100000))/100000
TYP_NUM5=(TYP_NUM-(TYP_NUM MOD 10000))/10000- TYP_NUM6*10
TYP_NUM4=(TYP_NUM-(TYP_NUM MOD 1000))/1000- TYP_NUM6*100- TYP_NUM5*10
TYP_NUM3=(TYP_NUM-(TYP_NUM MOD 100))/100- TYP_NUM6*1000- TYP_NUM5*100- TYP_NUM4*10
TYP_NUM2=(TYP_NUM-(TYP_NUM MOD 10))/10- TYP_NUM6*10000- TYP_NUM5*1000- TYP_NUM4*100 - TYP_NUM3*10
TYP_NUM1=TYP_NUM MOD 10
