"Protocol number 3536x5-5643" 6. "Fwd: effexor - 3563x7_35363 mexico - category" 7. "Re: Taiwan E5643x1 63642 protocol number" 8. "Fwd: mexico protocol 34633-34267" I need output like the follwing in Column B. 1. A9504X1-1435 2. B5343x4-1346 3. 2353x1-4353 4. 2353x1-4353 5. A3536x6-5325 6. 3563x7-35363 7. E5643x1-63642 8. 34633-34267 I need to capture only number part from the above strings like A3536x6-5325. Some there will be spaces or undersocre between two numbers, generally hyphen will be there between two numbers. Spaces and underscore needs to be replace with hyphen. Please kindly help me with RegExp (Regular Expression) or any vba procedure or function to capture the numbers.
