Hi
I pretty much have no prior knowledge to visual basic, or the macro/function in excel for that matter, so bare with me.
I'm reading through a MASSIVE chat log that has been imported to excel. The format of the log is like this: (all fictional)
<tbody>
</tbody>
What I want to do is parse through the message column, and find all cell with occourences of either filesharing or containing links.
When these cells are found, I want to copy the entire associated row to another spreadsheet, and keep copying further results into the same sheet on the row below.
I attempted to do some research for a search function using regular expressions but I couldn't find a good answer or guide how to do this.
I know how to write a regular expression, but not how to utilize it in this scenario.
Does anyone have a good solution for this?
-Thanks
