Hi.
The cell A1 contains: Here's the shopping list: pig, dog, hamburger, chocolate..., beef. Please purchase all of them. Thanks! I would like to extract each item separately to different cells, ie B1: =Display1stItem B2: =Display2ndItem .... B?: =DisplayLastItem + CropText ". Please purchase all of them. Thanks!" Reminder: There are different contents with different item list. Plus the wording of the contents and items are subject to change. So something like: MID(A1, 24, 5) is not preferred. Probably they can figure out which word to extract by pattern. In my case, when the list starts, it must start with colon (:). For each item, comma (,) is used to separate each of them. So it would be if a function manages to work like the following: .... ...: pig, cow, button. ... .... Read (:). the extracting starts -- Read pig -- Read (,) -- the item is extracted. Read cow -- Read (,) -- the item is extracted. Read button -- Read (.) -- the item is extracted, and stop reading after that fullstop(.) How to do? -- Additional information: - I'm using Office XP - I'm using Windows XP |
