I need help capturing information from a free text field.
The 10 examples below contain examples of the information I am trying
to capture.
In each cell I am trying to capture the number between 'TranID=' and
the next '&'.
So in the fisrt cell I would like to capture 14078800.

Things you will need to keep in mind are;

The number is not of fixed length.
'TranID' will always precede the number
The number will always be followed by an '&'
The '&' sign can occur multiple times in the text.


Code=web.co.uk%product_250p&TranID=14078800&OtherFlag0=services.web.stats.PostContentDelivery&OtherFlag0par=deliv
Code=web.co.uk%product_free&TranID=14077576&OtherFlag0=services.web.stats.PostCSDelivery&OtherFlag0par=deliv
