                                                     SOURCE: User-Defined       
                                                     ACCESS: Full               
                                                     DESIGNATED: NO             
                                                     DESCRIPTION: 

I need to find the string with JOB_NUMBER in it and grab the number “XXXX-XX” same with “CUSTOMER” but that will be a string not an integer.

This cannot be done by line number because it will be different every time.

Any suggestions would be very helpful
