Good morning!

I'm new to VBA, so I'm a little stuck. I'm trying to copy the text after "brand=" in column AU until "," as well as the text after "model=", then paste it into column E after "Default Category/Lexan Polycarbonate Motorsport Windows & Kits" with a "/" between the two strings.

I have managed to create code to find the relevant cell and select text after "brand=", but I am unsure how to proceed from here. Here's my code so far:
VBA Code:
Sub findmakemodel()
    If ActiveCell.Value = "Default Category/Lexan Polycarbonate Motorsport Windows & Kits" Then
        ActiveCell.Offset(0, 42).Select
    End If
    If InStr(1, (ActiveCell.Value), "brand=") > 0 Then

If anyone could point me in the right direction it would be massively appreciated.

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
Try
VBA Code:
Sub findmakemodel()
Dim K$, L1$, L2$, F1&, F2&
    If ActiveCell.Value = "Default Category/Lexan Polycarbonate Motorsport Windows & Kits" Then
    K = ActiveCell.Offset(0, 42) '.Select
    F1 = InStr(1, K, "brand=")
    If F1 > 0 Then L1 = "/" & Mid(K, F1 + Len("brand="), InStr(F1, K, ",") - F1 - Len("brand="))
    F2 = InStr(1, K, "model=")
    If F2 > 0 Then L2 = "/" & Mid(K, F2 + Len("model="), InStr(F2, K, ",") - F2 - Len("model="))
    
    ActiveCell.Value = ActiveCell.Value & L1 & L2
    End If
End Sub

Dim K$, L1$, L2$, F1&, F2&
    If ActiveCell.Value = "Default Category/Lexan Polycarbonate Motorsport Windows & Kits" Then
    K = ActiveCell.Offset(0, 42) '.Select
    F1 = InStr(1, K, "brand=")
    If F1 > 0 Then L1 = "/" & Mid(K, F1 + Len("brand="), InStr(F1, K, ",") - F1 - Len("brand="))
    F2 = InStr(1, K, "model=")
    If F2 > 0 Then L2 = "/" & Mid(K, F2 + Len("model="), InStr(F2, K, ",") - F2 - Len("model="))
   
    ActiveCell.Value = ActiveCell.Value & L1 & L2
    End If
End Sub
That's made things much easier, thank you for your help!
