This is where my problem is. Here is an example of one of the cells:
C5,C16,C30,C38,C54,C91,C98,C136,C147
I can have a few hundred of these alpha numeric characters in one cell.
Thanks for your time.

That's O.K. We can solve this.

In A1 thru A3 I entered:

R1
R12
R152


I put my formula in B1 thru B3 and see:

R1 R001
R12 R012
R152 R152

What do you see?
