Thanks for the code snippet. *I wasn't clear in my OP, but I was

Microsoft Excel does not support regular expressions.

VBA supports the Javascript flavor.

Longre has written a free add-in: *morefunc.xll which as regular expression
functions which support the PCRE flavor. *Apparently because it is an .xll, it

Thank you, Ron. Unfortunately, I have to use functionality within
Excel.

Well, if you can't use VBA, and can't use add-ins, the only other tool of which
I am aware would be the Find/Replace within Excel. That tool does not support
regular expressions.
