Hi,

I have the (partial) list (bellow) in column A, pasted from another
file.
I need to either extract from this list the values that start with "R"
and the numbers that follow it:

R157
R246
R39
etc,
etc,


Or delete from the list anything else that is not:

R157
R246
R39
etc,
etc,

Any easy way of doing this?
Thanks

LIST:

if (leftstr(input7,7) = "R157_inc")then
if (leftstr(input8,7) = "R246_inc")then

if (leftstr(input10,7) = "R27_inc")then
if (leftstr(input11,7) = "R21_inc")then
