SQL Query to Extract after 2nd dash in a field

SQL Query to Extract after 2nd dash in a field

SQL Query to Extract after 2nd dash in a field

(OP)
I am trying to extract the 5-digit number out of a field that is formatted in the following manner:

XXXX-###-#####-#########-#

I need to extract the 5-digit number (highlighted) after the second '-' . I'd like to use SUBSTRING if possible in SQL. Help???

RE: SQL Query to Extract after 2nd dash in a field

Have you tried SUBSTRING(<datafield>,10,5) ? This really isn't a SQL forum.
