    Select and copy text after specified word macro

    Hy!

    I have a huge ammount of exported data, and one cell contains the category name and the category path too. I want to write a macro, which can find the category name, copy and paste it to an other cell, and the same for the path too.

    Example:

    Cell looks like this:
    Category Name: ProductNameSomething, Category Path: Materials/Alloys/Something

    And I need the macro to copy the ProductNameSomething and Materials/Alloys/Something to other cells (wothout the "Category Name:" and the "Category Path:").

    I would really appriciate some help, how can I select and copy text in a cell after a specified word? Or is there any easier solution?

    Right, I made a sample.

    The character decoding is superweird, thats a website issue to solve for an other co-worker.

    skip it (make a blank cell), so I can easily know, there was something wrong.

    The code is almost perfect! Is it possible, to move only the name into column B and the path into column C?

    Edit: the sample, you attached works perfectly! Thank you very much.
