Hi

If you want an accurate solution, you start with a sample data, big enough
to include all possible patterns of raw data. The initial sample you
attached did not contain all possible patterns.

=Len()
=Mid(,,,)
=Left(,,)
=Right(,,)
=ISERROR()
=IF(,,,)
=SEARCH(,,,)

I suggest you to understand these functions yourself (these are not so
difficult and powerful enough handle most of text data manipulations) and
try to identify the pattern of your raw data and see if they:

1) BEGIN and/or END with a CERTAIN character(s) (eg "_", "e-" or a <space>)

2) have a FIXED LENGTH (eg: you ALWAYS don't want the first 5 digits of a
number)

3) If none of the above are applicable, just see how you identify
the information you require from a raw data, and tell the computer to do the
same! Well the computer may ask you to give each and every break-up of the
procedure!

Good Luck :)

@All

It would be nice if forums like this which have got a big number of experts
and professional programmers should help a member to learn rather than being
a place where we can post some files of which we forgot the password and and
wish someone would break it for us.

I had asked for a help about dealing with Importing code to a code module.
But I got suggestions about how to search the web better with Google ;) and
how to make the query short and interesting [yes! it did help! :)]

But I am unhappy that no one bothered to answer my last few posts :(

Good Day :)
