I receive a series of daily share prices in an html email which I save
as a file and then have a macro load this file into a data sheet. Amongst all the html stuff there are recognisable share price strings like this in Column A ARM Holdings 116.00p -0.03p (-2.11) Amino Technologies 98.50p 0.00p (-0.00) BAA 872.50p -0.01p (-0.06) McCarthey and Stone 766.00p 0.04p (0.52) I'd like to slice these up so that in columns B:C I end up with the following B1: Arm Holdings, C1: 116.00 B2: Amino Technologies, C2: 98.50 B3: BAA, C3: 872.50 B4: McCarthy and Stone, C4: 766.00 Unfortunately some names are two or more words long, and others a single word, which makes identifying the split between the name and the price difficult. Until recently, Digital Look.com who send the emails had a slightly different layout where there was a unique identifier company ID code surrounded with ( ) which made it reasonably easy to identify the split between the name and the price. However their layout has now changed to the above, and I'm strruggling to find an elegant solution to slicing the string. I'd be grateful for any help or suggestions Usual TIA, Richard Buttrey |
