It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 69255
interpreted = N
texte = Olin, That's a way of approaching it (elegant) but I think it isnt going to work. First I think that will only catch the first occurrence of the numbers and these numbers are buried in a MSSQl text field. So for example I could see text that looks like this: ----------------------- "These tickets have been resolved. You can find references to other items relating to this occurrence at tn-2345, and tn-657898. Please let me know if there are any issues" ----------------------- And I thought I could use the grep to find each occurrence and return them as a link to the reference number. Does this make sense? I despise grep.
