Just hoping some magic SQL can get me out of this one easily enough.

I have a field of type varchar a sample would look something like this:

'categoryname/subcategoryname/someotherinformation/012345'

all I want in this field is that last bit of information after the last
'/' ie: '012345'

I'd like to either replace this field with this number alone or insert
into another newly created field.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Kevin
