Hi there,
I tried to clean the ID column in my dataset.
ID |
ID, CODE 101-1111-1 |
ID, 102-2222-143 |
CODE 103-3333-8(45) |
ID CODE, 104-4444-644 |
I want to keep the numeric only, as follow:
ID |
10111111 |
1022222143 |
1033333845 |
1044444644 |
Any codes to share will be very appreciate.
Thanks in advance.

SAS makes this easy:
id = compress(id,,'kd');
"kd" means "keep the digits".

Thank you very much Astounding!
It works!! I'm so happy.
just curious, if I want to keep the Character only, how does the code look like?

Thanks again.
Many variations are possible. Take a look here:
