Is there any technique to remove all text before AND/OR after a <p> tag?

For example, I need to separate the following data into 2 columns:

<p>Description of CD here.</p><p>Track listing: 1) A 2) B</p>

I need to move the description part into column A and track listing part into column B. I need some kind of formula or anything that can do 7000 entries in the blink of an eye.

What I was thinking is to duplicate the information into both column A AND column B. The in column A, I would delete everything after the </p>. And in column B, delete everything before the <p>.

But if someone has a better idea, please slap me in the face with it.

Thanks!
 

Excel Facts

Workdays for a market open Mon, Wed, Friday?
Yes! Use "0101011" for the weekend argument in NETWORKDAYS.INTL or WORKDAY.INTL. The 7 digits start on Monday. 1 means it is a weekend.
Sorry, I didn't know the P tags wouldn't show. Rookie mistake.
