Hi Rick,

Here's one more just for fun.

=MID(A4,FIND("{",A4)+1,FIND("}",A4)-FIND("{",A4)-1)

Have a text string that could look something like this:
http://he4.clientthirddheytrs.com/wyt/cftts/edit.aspx?id={840102F6-AJUE-SD1B-9705-00188B2E03D9}

I need to extract the ID number which is surrounded by "the brackets".
Desired result in this instance would be:
{840102F6-AJUE-SD1B-9705-00188B2}

There is no consistency in the data; there can be any number of
characters between the brackets, and any number of characters before,
or after the brackets. It's all formatted as text.

Ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Rick
