thankyou
You could use the Split funtion, but that wouldn't work well if your string contains more than one space, for example "white bread 0.67" If the price is always the last part of the string, why not create a function that starts at the end and finds the last space?
dim x as string
x = "white bread 0.67"
parts = split(x, " ")
xCost = parts(ubound(parts()))
