Your welcome.

I noticed after you had included the space in your required output. If you
do want spaces output then change the pattern to
..Pattern = "[\d\-\&\?\"" ""]"

Thank you so much Mike!

I've been wondering for a few years now how to create a function in Excel
and cursing at the impossibility to use regular expressions.

You have way more than answered my question: you also showed me
possibilities I was eager to know but didn't know where to look for and how
to get started.
