I think you may have to tell us more about what you are trying to do and
what you have to work with. First, I'm assuming each item in the list you
showed is on a separate row. Do the strings you are trying to extract always
start with a single letter? If yes, I'm guessing it is not always an "S", is
it? Again, if so, then will only digits follow it? In other words, are you
looking for a single letter followed by eight digits? After you answer the
above questions, here is the most important question... where did you want
these values "extracted" to? An array in VB code? Another column? Somewhere
else?
