    Search and Finding between 2 workbooks

    I have a large database that contains information layed out as follows:

    (column G)

    CallDirect_CDR-790seu_approval.doc
    CallDirect_CDR-790seu_approval.pdf
    CallDirect_CDR-790seu_approval_A.doc
    Motorola_V975.doc
    Motorola_V9x.html
    Motorola_V9x.pdf

    etc... (it has 4000 lines)

    I need a program or function to search through each entity and pick up the brand (the words before the underscore.

    so for example if we take the RED example, it should pick up just the following:

    CallDirect

    Then I need it to find the model, in the same example it should find the following:

    CDR-790seu

    So now it has gained 2 vales; the name: CallDirect and the model:CDR-790seu .

    The next stage is for it to look through a different workbook (this workbook only contains 1 sheet) - (I can arrange this sheet to be put in the same workbook as the the first database) and firstly search the name, then product... the 2.d database it needs to look through wout look like this:

    (all *'s indicate a new column)

    A1 * A2 * A3 * A4 * A5

    114 * closed * Call Direct * router * CDR-790
    153 * closed * Calyptech * FWT * iFWT
    35 * closed * Calyptech * FWT * iFWT

    It would find the red row and take just what value is in A1, in this case 114.

    This 114 value would now be placed back in the original sheet next to the line it was searching from to now make:

    CallDirect_CDR-790seu_approval.doc * 114


    If anyone could help me with this that would be amazing...

    thanks guys
