    Find and replace cells before certain characters

    Hi guys
    I have a column of cells and each cell has mutliple lines

    A1
    Kök Kelimeler Toplam: 117
    ebâ - 3 - çekindi, kaçındı, direndi
    fe ebev - 1 - fakat çekindiler

    A2
    Kök Kelimeler Toplam: 25
    âdeme - 13 - Âdem
    âdemu - 2 - Âdem


    what i wish to achieve is to
    1. remove the first line completely so "Kök Kelimeler Toplam: digit"
    2. remove anything before the second dash

    A1
    çekindi, kaçındı, direndi
    fakat çekindiler


    and then replace the line break with a comma

    so end result will look like this

    A1
    çekindi, kaçındı, direndi, fakat çekindiler

    A2
    Âdem, Âdem

    It might be best to use a formula in another column.

    It would help if you attached a sample Excel workbook.

    To do this, click on Go Advanced (below the Edit Window) while you are composing a reply, then scroll down to and click on Manage Attachments and the Upload window will open. Click on Browse and navigate to (and double-click) the file icon that you want to attach, then click on Upload and then on Close this Window to return to the Edit window. When you have finished composing your post, click on Submit Post.

    Don't try to use the Paperclip icon, as this does not work on this forum.

    Hope this helps.

    Pete
