    are all the other values always going to be numbers?

    if so can't you do something like

    ###"-1"#"A"#########

    If the exact length of the value in required , you might try 000"-1"0"A"000000000

    The hash (#) means a number or space (optional)

    The zero means the number in required (can only be a number - no space or letter)..... See HELP for examples....
