How to determine the value of a printable character?
that character can be found by
=CODE(MID(A1,6,1)) in your example, where A1 contains "1029 · etc" - (it's char(183). Then you can use LEFT(A8,FIND(CHAR(183),A8)-1) if A8 has the text wanted.

Initially, I must ascertain how to obtain the chr() value of the "·" character? No? Dennis |
