Need help with a function
Hi
I'm sorry but I'm not too much familiar with Excel. I have some listing in column A For example in A1 I have: D:\blabla\folder1\file1.xxx in A2 I have: D:\blabla\folder2\file2.xxx in A3 I have: D:\blabla\folder3\file3.xxx I want the word between the 2nd and 3rd '\' to be in color red. So in A1 folder1 should be in red, in A2 folder2 in red etc I could do it manually but there are like 3000 lines. It would take forever. Is this simple to achieve with a script/macro/? ? I hope someone can help me. Thanks in advance. Christophe |

Presumably you want to pick that value out. Why not put it in an adjacent
cell. You can do that with =MID(A1,FIND("~~",SUBSTITUTE(A1,"\","~~",2))+1,FIN D("~~",SUBSTITUTE(A1,"\"," ~~",3))-FIND("~~",SUBSTITUTE(A1,"\","~~",2))-1) -- HTH Bob Phillips "Christophe" wrote in message ...
