    Question remove everything between two strings in cell value

    Hi guys,

    I'm trying to store some additional meta data to cells in my workbook.

    The data is to be stored between "---------------" and "---------------" in the cell

    I need to be able to remove everything between these hyphens and leave the rest of the cell value in place.





    An example of a cell:
    _______________________
    | --------------- |
    | A/L: PG, JN |
    | TRNG: JJ |
    | --------------- |
    | ...project info |
    | ... |
    | ... |
    |_______________________|

    NB: the _ and |'s are drawn for illustration only



    Kind regards
    Jordan
