Hi

Select the range with strings. Select Replace from Edit menu, into SearchFor
field enter "P5-MPC ", into ReplaceWith field enter nothing, and click on
ReplaceAll button.

Be sure you have enough additional free columns to right of column with
strings (for your example string 5 free columns are needed. With range
containing strings
selected, activate from Data menu TextToColumns wizard. Select comma as
delimiter, and proceed.

There you are!

The following data is entered in a cell:

P5-MPC FT 18, P5-MPC FT 25, P5-MPC FT 30, P5-MPC FT 35,P5-MPC PTR 1,
P5-MPC
PTF 9

The P5-MPC text is irrelevent. I need the #'s after each FT, after each
PTR
and after each PTF, so that my resulting data would be:

FT18
FT25
FT30
FT35
PTR1
PTF1

Could the above be returned in 6 different cells even if the original data
is all in one cell?
Ultimately I need to count all the FTs, all the PTRs, & all the PTFs.(
FT=4,PTR=1, PTF=1)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Steve
