I have a worksheet with the drive paths to thousands of documents.
I would like to copy 2 sets of numbers (as string) to adjacent cells. Example: A1 contains "D:\OtherFiles\CLOSED\K\12-345 Smith, John\001 Estate Planning\Correspondence\Memo.doc" I need to extract the 6 characters after the 4th backslash ("12-345") to B1, and the 3 characters after the 5th backslash ("001") to C1. These numbers all fall after the 4th and 5th backslashes, but at varying character lengths and the numbers are variable, between 01-001 and 99-999. How do I search for those backslashes, and then copy the data to the next cells? Thanks! |
