Include Txt to a certain character in a string

I have the following EDI message and have the following statement in a query;  

Units: Mid([swift],InStr(1,[swift],":36B::SETT//UNIT/")+17,12)


In this particular line, the number of characters is variable until the ','.  So what I need to do is bring in 3493 in this case but if it was 99999, then I would need to bring in 99999 and so forth.  It is whatever value from the / to the ,.

The above code is bring in characters from the next line.   How do you stop at the ','?

I was trying the charindex function but without much luck.  Any ideas?
