    Pulling Out specific Text

    Hi Guys,

    I have a text file which contains loads of information and I'm trying to pull out a specific pattern into another cell.

    Is there a formular I can use to highlight the text and move this to the adjacent cell?

    Below is an example:

    Cell 1 Cell 2

    Top Orders URN: xxxxxx89 Customer Paid xxxxxx89
    Second Order URN: xxxxxx12 Customer Invoice xxxxxx12
    Group Order URN: xxxxxx78 Pre Paid Customer xxxxxx78

    Basically the 'xxxxxx and two numbers' will be the same, as will the 'URN', If I could search for URN and return the next 10 charachters that would work.

    I can't upload a file as my work's firwall is blocking me.

    If this is in A1, Top Orders URN: xxxxxx89

    Then apply this formula and copy down: =Right(A1,10)
