I have a field called Description and need to parse a 12 space word that begins with A9B. i.e. A9B123456789012
It could have words before and after A9B123456789012.

like
A9B123456789012 oil mount
A9B123456789012 fire
missing A9B123456789012 washer
A9B123456789012


I need to have A9B123456789012 only in the new query field

can anyone help...
