I wrote this code but the REPLACE functoin doesn't seem to work properly.
Can anybody see what is wrong?

Sub RemoveComments()

CellData = "This is {comment1} some example {comment2} text"
RowCount = 1
Do While Range("A" & RowCount) < ""
Comments = ""
'CellData = Range("A" & RowCount)
StartChr = 1
Do While InStr(StartChr, CellData, "{") 0
First = InStr(StartChr, CellData, "{") + 1
Last = InStr(StartChr, CellData, "}") - 1
If Last First Then
Length = Last - First + 1
Comment = Mid(CellData, First, Length)
CellData = Replace(expression:=CellData, Find:=Comment, _
Replace:="", Start:=First, Count:=1, compa=vbTextCompare)
'move past closing bracket
msgbox(CellData)
stop
StartChr = First + 2

End If
Loop
Loop

End Sub

Hello!

I have a column with text in cells; the text in each cell contains one, more
or no comments. All comments are between {}.

I need to find text between { } that exists in a cell, cut it from that cell
and paste it in the adiacent cell in the next column.

for example, I have the following text in cell A1:
"This is {comment1} some example {comment2} text"

I need to cut {comment1} and {comment2} from cell A1 and paste them both in
cell B1, so that in column A I would only have the text without comments and
in column B only the comments.

This would need to go on automatically for the whole column.

thank you all in advace for any suggestions!
