    VBscript to stop selection at "-----Original Message-----" plus change ";" in the output

    I'm trying to select text. The following script format does that but some, not all, have the line "-----Original Message-----"
    I want to separate the text so that the script only selects up to the line "-----Original Message-----"
    plus if possible get the resulting ";" in the output to show up as actual line breaks
    using the following script format


    Original text

    You are welcome, thanks for the rep.points.

    I think almost all of us learn things like this from everywhere, from the Excel help file, from googling for specicific problem, from examine solutions provided by others on forums like in here. I believe there is no "good place" to learn all of the things, we have to search the information from everywhere.

    my true purpose is to have them chronically ordered in a format that can be exported to a file name, That means / and : can't be used

    Re: VBscript to stop selection at "-----Original Message-----" plus change ";" in the outp

    When I was reading the title of your thread : 'VBscript to ...', I think what you mean is 'VBA Script' (lot of people ignore the 'A') which is the programming language of Excel.
    It is obvious now that you really mean 'VBscript', not 'VBA script'.
    In this case, you are in the wrong forum.
    This forum is discussing topics of Microsoft Office's products (Excel, Word, etc) only.
    You must post the question on some other forum that is dedicated for VBscript.
    Please do not posting anything that is not related to Microsoft Office on this forum anymore.

    Anyway, this is VBS file that answer you question :
