Default filename search and extract into a cell

Here's what I'm looking for....
Say the file name is: "Eval - Technical - Offeror01.xls" and there will be
several different spreadsheets "...Offeror02", "...Offeror03", etc.

I would like to extract from the file name the Offeror01 part. I've used
this equation befo
=MID(CELL("filename",A1),FIND("[",CELL("filename",A1),1)+1,FIND("]",CELL("filename",A1),1)-FIND("[",CELL("filename",A1),1)-1)

But now (as I said) want to select out that last part.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
MJohn
