VBA Code to extract Text btwn ">TEXT<" ?

**mave27** · 08-04-2015, 05:12 AM

Anyone care to share VBA code to extract out Text btwn ">TEXT<" on Col G of my worksheet ?

Below some examples of Case scenarious:

Input: Size 39*45*H(80-104)CM
Output: 39*45*H(80-104)CM

Input: X-style height adjustable keyboard/piano bench. 
Output: X-style height adjustable keyboard/piano bench.

Input: Generous sized 60 cm x 32 cm
Output: Generous sized 60 cm x 32 cm

Input: Generous sized 60 cm x 32 cm seat. Black finish.
Output: Generous sized 60 cm x 32 cm. seat. Black finish.

What to look for: >TEXT< AND omit ><

Note: Each Cell can have "multiple" instances of ">TEXT<" (in a single cell), as shown on Case Scenario #4

Thanks in Advance.

Looks good, havent test it yet.

Just curious - i dont see anywhere in the code which Col it's referencing ? The data that needs cleaning up is on Col G. Can I get the output to Col H ?

The example just uses the active cell as input and outputs to immediate window.
You would need to specify in the code what cells it should be used on and where the result goes.

Andy - the Function is working fine.

Do you mind tweaking the code to remove all instances of   ?

Example:

Input: KW 18 8x21DCF  POWERVIEW Folding Series 383ft/1000yds 128m/1000m with case
Output: KW 18 8x21DCF POWERVIEW Folding Series 383ft/1000yds 128m/1000m with case

Note: there can be multiple instances of   in any given cell data.

What would be the modified code to incorporate any additional text to omit ?

hard to say without seeing what the contexts of the cell are

The code works for the examples you have provided so far

Do you mind running the latest modified code for Input Value:

returns the following, assuming all in a single cell

GATE VALVE LOCKOUT Virtually indestructible valve covers. Once locked, they rotate freely around the hand wheel prevent the valve wheel from being turned. The strong polyurethane plastics make them resistant to cracking and abrasion. They are resistant to extreme weather and temperature conditions. Available in5 sizes ( Red colour )Other colours are available on request - minimum quantity applicable. 3 padlock holes are available in each gate valve lockout device. Different sizes cover most commonly used valve diameters. Withstands temperatures from - 20°F to 200°F Unique knockout center accommodates OS Y or “rising stem” valves.

Perhaps you should post a workbook example

**mave27** · 08-04-2015, 07:52 AM

Andy - prev version of code works fine, but the newer gives error of #VALUE!. (stangely

)

I'll just do a search & replace to remove unwanted Text from final output.

Thanks again.

Question, why are you going about it so difficult?
Wouldn't this just do the trick - assuming you put the source text into A1.

Please Login or Register  to view this content.

Gives output split per line in range A2 downward.
Set reference to Microsoft HTML Object Library

Works fine on all your supplied examples.

Not sure what you mean by "reference to Microsoft HTML Object Library" .

Can you kindly elaborate on how use this code ? Where do i place it ? Under Modules (Alt + F11) ?

**JasperD** · 08-04-2015, 09:01 AM

Yes, under modules.
Then in the top bar, go to Tools, References and select Microsoft HTML Object Library

Then run the code, should work fine.
