Well post 21 is certainly simpler than post 20.
However, just out of interest, can you tell me why you think your solutions in posts 20/21 are simpler than mine in post 17 or 3 ... or that of MajP in post4.

Admittedly I was only dealing with one example in each case because that's all I thought the OP wanted. However it wouldn't take much effort to 'merge' them to allow for cases where fs18 string is present and where its not

By chance I just came across a GetBetween function that will strip out text between two specified strings.

Not tested but it might well be useful for the purpose of this thread
