Perhaps the Mid$() function will do?  See that topic in the E-Basic 
Help facility (or consult any VBA reference, e.g., my favorites, "VBA 
for Dummies" or "VBA in a Nutshell").  InStr() might be another thing to try.

That would be nice, but E-Basic/VBA does not work quite that way, 
although you could build something like that using the Mid$() or 
InStr() functions.  I think wildcards like that are features of 
scripting languages like Perl or sed, not regular computer languages 
like VBA/E-Basic or C or JavaScript, etc.

I didn't look carefully at the full code that you are working on so I 
don't know what I missed in my responses, I was just talking off the 
top of my head based on general principles.  Glad you got most 
everything to work.
