Default How do I change replace text in a cell for different text?


have a couple of thousand lines of information that basically is this:

Xxxxxxx_Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx_YYY_Xxx.Zzz

Where X is a letter, Y a number, Zzz the file extension.

The information in the cell is not a formula.

I need to be able to

a/ change the file extension name (all going from one the same to a
different one the same)

b/ remove the YYY_Xxx before the file extension, but the other info
stays the same.

I'm sure there is a convaluted formula, or maybe an easy one?!?!

TIA!
