Hi,
I have a column with this kind of text(C56E10.2 /REP_DB=WormBase Gene ID /WP=CE04280 /TR=Q18894 /GB=AAA81155.1 /SUBMIT=ST.LOUIS /CHR=X /FEA=Sanger Annotation) that I would like a single piece of information out of. I tried this =if(j2="CHR=X","X") to get out just the bit I want, but it didn't work. Is there a way to do this?

Another solution would be to somehow break the text up into individual columns at the slash marks..

Thanks,
Amy

Hi All,

I tab delimiting my text, which worked fine to isolate the text, so I'm fixed.

Thanks anyway,

Amy
