the barcode for the books we sell are in the following format: TT-CCCCCC-YY

T is the type

C is the item code

Y is the year it was created

i need to parse though it to get the T , C and Y . This is an external code I store is as a text value in navision.

afaik, no embedded parser is availible but you have enough string functions to do it your self in a few minutes and few lines of code…
