Default copy select characters from specified cells.

I'm trying to build on an answer I received last week (which was very
helpfull).

I'm using the below formula to conditionally copy the data from the fourth
cell over - or leave the field blank if the word 'Named' is not in the 4th
column.

=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("[ Named",C[4])),C[4],"")

I need to expand on the copy portion as I need to conditionally copy the
contents of C[4] and to always ignore the first 20 characters and the last 2
characters from C[4].

example input from C[4]:
[ Named Symbology - T_Flow Line CBC ]
000Default LineLineSymbology
001Default TextTextSymbology

[ Named Symbology - T_Flow Line of StreamRiver ]
000Default LineLineSymbology
001Default TextTextSymbology
