Default Want to use Excel to parse a text file

I want to use Excel to parse a .txt file (imported in Excel).

The text file has strings sunch as "select column1, column 2 from Table1,
Table2 where column1 = < some values"

The text is not delimited nor fixed width. It's very dynamic.


I want to use Excel to identify all the Tables that are used in SQL
statements through out the .txt file and generate a list in Excel. Did I say
the .txt file is huge? Manually this would take at least one day worth of
work :)

Thanks in advance
Michael
