extracting text between two keywords

M

Michelle

I have a block of wrapped text in cell D2. Buried within the text are two
keywords: "NAME:" and "CONSTRAINED". I want to extract all of the text
between these two keywords and paste it into cell L2.

I appreciate any help from the masses..
Thanks!

Put the string in A1
Put the first keyword in A2
Put the second keyword in A3
In A4 enter:

=MID(A1,FIND(A2,A1)+LEN(A2),FIND(A3,A1)-FIND(A2,A1)-LEN(A2))

for example:

wkhf78fhjaNAME:123456789CONSTRAINED987vos
NAME:
CONSTRAINED
123456789
