I have a workbook with a number of strings, in these strings are numbers, also of unknown value, and not always in the same place so no ease way to get at them as far as I can see spent most of the morning trying to using lots of different way but to no avail, the numbers being markers for genres so once I have the location and value I could retrieve the required data <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
My original idea using VBA, I would scan the string using the mid function and test the string letter by letter till I got a match with the numbers 0 through 9 then I would know where it was and its value.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
The aim then would be to change it for the @ symbol so next time the string is check by another process I could simply look for the @ symbol and do a mid to retrieve the data there after <o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
So if you can help I would be most grateful<o:p></o:p>
