Default Extracting Text

I have a cell that contains the following string:

America;005491;I/C FAMS Sweep ;05/01/2007;25511.30;106699

I would like a formula that would extract the string that is after the
second semi colon and that is before the third semi colon. In this case the
formula would return:

I/C FAMS Sweep

I will be copying this formula to other rows and the problem is that the
number between the second and third semi colon's will vary. This makes the
use of MID, RIGHT, or LEFT unworkable.

Any suggestions?
