Hi James,
You can use the Replace$() function to remove the :\ from each cell:
Cells(n, 1).Value=Replace$(Cells(n, 1).Value, ":\", "")
And you can use the Right$() function to get the last number:
Cells(n, 2).Value=Right$(Cells(n, 1).Value, 1)

Here is my situation. I hav a macro that inputs into excel all the
file names in a directory and I get results like this in coulmn A.
There will not always be the same number of files, it changes each
time
:\ab1234
:\df1133
:\gh2345
My problem comes in editing the list - I need to first remove all of
the ":\" from each cell (file name), and then I need to get the last
value in the name to sort the files, in this case it would be
4
3
5
and I would want to but those values in column B.
I am currently searching through google but any help would be greatly
appreciated.
