Hi Expert,

I have to check if webadresses (of different sizes) in column A end on
"html" (e.g. www.variablestrings/buy/hold/details.html)
Sometimes, the end is more like html -25, or html 9 or html r7, or
whatever.
I would like to clean up all cell content after html
But how? Tried some already, but still in the mist...

best regards Peter

It isn't clear what you are asking for, but the following might get
you going in the right direction.

Using Formulas: Test in A1 ends in "html"
=RIGHT(A1,4)="html"
return TRUE or FALSE

Remove text in A1 after "html"
=IF(RIGHT(A1,4)="html",A1,LEFT(A1,FIND("html",A1)+ 3))

Using VBA:

Dim S As String
Dim T As String
Dim N As Long
S = Range("a1").Value
N = InStr(1, S, "html", vbTextCompare)
If N Then
T = Left(S, N + 3)
Else
T = S
End If
Debug.Print T

S gets the value of cell A1. N = 0 means "html" not at end of S. N <
0 means "html" at end of S. T gets text in A1 before the "html"
string.

Cordially,
