Angry Strip out Non Integers query

Hey I have a field, lets call it EECount that has both characters and integers in it. Is there a way to strip them out before casting, the characters are from a few offending users.

Maybe a where not varchar clause?

Much appreciated.

Ok, so say you have this in the field...

...do you want to return that record, and just strip out the letters, or do you not want to return that record @ all b/c it has chars in it?

RE: Strip out Non Integers query

I do not want to return that record at all because it has charachters in it. I do not want to include it when I cast it, if its bad data, I do not include the record at all.

RAT, Thanks

... WHERE EECount NOT LIKE '%[^0-9]%'

note: IsNumeric(EECount) is also worth considering, assuming you can live with the occasional dollar sign or period
