Excel Facts

Remove leading & trailing spaces
Save as CSV to remove all leading and trailing spaces. It is faster than using TRIM().

there is a \ missing in the formula

Code:
=TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE($A1,[COLOR="#FF0000"]"\"[/COLOR],REPT(" ",100)),COLUMNS($C:C)*99-98,99))

if the filename only needed, you can try this

Code:
=TRIM(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"\",REPT(" ",500)),500))

my formula actually was: =TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE($A1,"\",REPT(" ",100)),COLUMNS($C:C)*99-98,99))

when using the html add-in the backlash was removed



Hi VBA Geek... I'm not sure what is going wrong here:-

C1: =left(a1,find("",a1)-1)
d1: =mid(a1,len(c1)+2,len(c1))
e1: =mid(a1,len(c1)+len(d1)+3,find("#",substitute(a1,"","#",len(a1)-len(substitute(a1,"",""))))-len(c1)-len(d1)-3)
f1: =mid(a1,len(c1)+len(d1)+len(e1)+4,find(".",a1)-len(c1)-len(d1)-len(e1)-4)
