Hello!

I'm hoping someone can help me with my current problem. I have thousands of cells that look like this:

[TABLE="width: 983"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD="width: 983"]<a *******="viewer.setParameter('SceneUrl', 'units/models/nomodel.stl');viewer.init(); viewer.update();" >Unit-Model-Here</a>[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

What I'd like to do is replace the "nomodel" text above with whatever is between <a....></a> (in this case, it is Unit-Model-Here).

I've looked in other threads and have tried to adapt solutions from there, but have yet to figure out a working one. Any help would be much appreciated.
 
I ended up just removing the bad characters with find/replace, so I should be good now. But I will be doing more of this in the next day or so. If the problem crops up again, I'll be sure to revisit this thread and provide the dropbox as requested. Thanks again for all of your help, Rick.

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
