Thank you - I have downloaded the excel add in and am successfully using the

Glad to help. Thanks for the feedback.

One limitation which, hopefully, will not apply to you is that the strings

If that is an issue, we can write a VBA add-in which will accomplish the same
thing, but the regex pattern will need to be a bit different.
