Formula for duplicating info from one cell to another

Actually, after having fooled with it for a while, I notice that any amount
of digits work. However, it is a string that doesn't have the P in it that
becomes a problem. For example
With your formula these two disparate digit strings work
1) HWC39758 P Science / Health & Medical Sciences / Anatomy & Physiology /
Human Systems / Immune/Lymphatic System / Immune/Lymphatic System Basics &
Overviews
Science / Health & Medical Sciences / Anatomy & Physiology / Human Systems /
Immune/Lymphatic System / Immune/Lymphatic System Basics & Overviews
2) HWC39 P Science / Health & Medical Sciences / Anatomy & Physiology /
Human Systems / Immune/Lymphatic System / Reference
Science / Health & Medical Sciences / Anatomy & Physiology / Human Systems /
Immune/Lymphatic System / Reference
However, when the P is excluded in a string, the results excludes the word
Science
HWC56331 Science / Health & Medical Sciences / Anatomy & Physiology / Human
Systems / Integumentary System
/ Health & Medical Sciences / Anatomy & Physiology / Human Systems /
Integumentary System
How do I get around this?

I figure out how to get rid of the P (changed the -1 to a +1). However, I
have different sets of HWC#s with different amounts of digits, and some HWC#s
don't have the P. Your formula only takes into account five digit HWC#. I
have literally over 10,000 of these and I would like to automate this process
a bit so I don't have to cut and paste every time.
Here are some examples of different HWC#s:
HWC65841 P Science / Health & Medical Sciences / Human Anatomy & Physiology
/ Human Systems / Excretory (Urinary) System / Diseases & Disorders / Bladder
& Kidney Cancer
HWC9318 Science / Health & Medical Sciences / Human Anatomy & Physiology /
Human Systems / Excretory (Urinary) System
HWC9591 P Science / Health & Medical Sciences / Human Anatomy & Physiology /
Human Systems / Circulatory System / Reference / Images

Hey Mike H,
I'm not familiar with that particular use of a formula, so I have to plead
ignorance here. Your formula almost worked, but included the P after the
numerical code and before the word Science. I don't want the P.

With the string in A1 and as shown in your example then this should work by
extracting everything after the second space
=MID(A1,FIND(" ",A1,FIND(" ",A1,1)+1)-1,LEN(A1))

I'd like information that I input into a cell to be automatically output into
another cell. So, for example, In one cell I input the following information:
HWC65917 P Science / Health & Medical Sciences / Human Anatomy & Physiology
/ Human Systems / Immune/Lymphatic System / Diseases & Disorders / Other
Lymphatic Disorders
In the cell next to it I'd like it to automatically output
Science / Health & Medical Sciences / Human Anatomy & Physiology / Human
Systems / Immune/Lymphatic System / Diseases & Disorders / Other Lymphatic
Disorders
by excluding the HWC65917 P.
Is this possible?
Thanks.
