All,

I am extracting a certain column of data from an Excel file
(a .
Unfortunately, some of the data was entered incorrectly
(i.e. there should not be any data present in-between
a '.' and a '+', nor should there be any occurence of a '.'
before a '+'
Example: 282_994.01+282_995.01
needs to be changed to 282_994+282_995.01

A hard-coded find & replace will not work because there
are so many different offending text strings. What I
simply want to do is find any occurence of a '.'
before a '+' and eliminate all text from the '.' up to
(but not including) the '+'.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks!
