I have a long list of Files which include the complete path. I need tro
separate the filename ("JohnDoe.xls") from the first part of the cell
("C:\Files\Clients\"). In some cells the path includes numerous subfolders
so the formula needs to take that into consideration.

I have seen workable formulas in this site but cannot, for the life of me,
find them now. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

One that I save <bg:

=MID(A1,1,LEN(A1)-FIND(CHAR(1),SUBSTITUTE(A1,"\",CHAR(1),LEN(A1)
-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"\","")))))

Sub getfilename()
For Each c In Selection
x = InStrRev(c, "\")
c.Offset(, 1) = Left(c, x)
c.Offset(, 2) = Right(c, Len(c) - x)
Next

Don and Dave,

Thanks very much. You gave me both a formula I could make just a little
change to and a bit of code I could interject into a macro I am building. It
always helps to have a choice in such matters.
