Extract the text between last comma and last but one comma.
I have a very long text in a cell. EX:
4919,"0.019999","7.2.84.192","10.160.18.52","RTP", "PT=Unknown (99), SSRC=0x0, Seq=343, Time=514216 " I need to extract only the Seq=343 portion of it. The length of the text is not constant in all the rows. Also, the sequence number is sometimes 2/3/4/5 digit. Please help |

*Maybe* this:
=LEFT(MID(A1,SEARCH("seq=",A1),255),FIND(",",MID(A 1,SEARCH("seq=",A1),255))-1) Returns: Seq=343 -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Sreedevi" wrote in message ... I have a very long text in a cell.

If you only want to keep the Seq=###, you could do this, too:
Select the range to fix Edit|Replace what: *Seq (asterisk, Seq) with: Seq Replace all Then Edit|Replace what: ,* (comma, asterisk) with: (leave blank) replace all The asterisk is a wildcard that represents any set of characters.
