I have two instances:
First, I have a data set that contains zip code. Most are the typical 5 digits, but I have some that contain the last four, like so:
731101014 (contains the first 5 and last 4, not separated by anything)
731101014
731101014
731101014
73108 (contains only the first five *what I am needing all zip codes to be formatted in)
73108
73108
73108
73108
73013-0000 (contains the first 5 and last 4, separated by a dash - )
73013-0000
73013-0000
73013-0000
73013-0000
I am on a bit of a time crunch and need any help I can get on how to best write code to only pull out the first 5 numbers from each zip code and ditch the rest.
Thank you for any help you can give!
I figured it out.
Went through some of my old code and decided to do the following:
zipcode_short = substr(zip,1,5);
Did exactly what I was needing.
Decided to post the answer to my own question in case someone else had a similar one and could use the information.
Thanks!
