Finding Substrings and copy them to new document

[jgambke]

Hi!

I have a document with "Todo"-Tags, which look like that: @TODO[]. Inside
the brackets is a description of what needs to be done.
There are 3 things I'd like to do:
1.) I'd like to find all Todo-Tags in my document and
2.) copy the descriptions into a table in a new document.
3.) I'd like to find out the chapter/ subchapter in which a Todo-Tag and
it's description was found and add that information to the table.

I'm a vba novice and searched (and tried and failed) for solutions for the
past week - I'm getting truly desperate.

If anyone can help - I appreciate.

Jule

This is not a novice task!

for the past week - I'm getting truly desperate.

First, you have to tell us how your chapters/sub-chapters are defined. How
will the code tell where one begins?
Also, do you want chapters *or* sub-chapters information? Or both?

Hi Jean-Guy!

"its description"
[ Sorry, couldn't resist, this is a pet peeve of mine... ]

Yup, everyone needs one of those

This is not a novice task!

Thank God. That makes me feel a lot better as I started feeling stupid.

First, you have to tell us how your chapters/sub-chapters are defined. How
will the code tell where one begins?

Chapters and Subchapters are defined using the word standard "Header 1",
"Header 2" etc. formats.

Also, do you want chapters *or* sub-chapters information? Or both?

Quite honestly, I'm not sure yet which would be more informative. I guess
for now I'd settle for sub-chapter information.

Thanks for taking interest!
