I want to split the text so I just get the text after the /Volumes/Itunes library/ so I get the words starting Various Artist as this will be the name of the artist and is always after the / in library
is there a formula I can use to do this please
Thanks

What version of Excel are you using?
I suggest that you update your Account details (or click your user name at the top right of the forum) so helpers always know what Excel version(s) & platform(s) you are using as the best solution often varies by version. (Don’t forget to scroll down & ‘Save’)

Can you post some sample data along with expected results.

MrExcel has a tool called “XL2BB” that lets you post samples of your data that will allow us to copy/paste it to our Excel spreadsheets, so we can work with the same copy of data that you are. Instructions on using this tool can be found here: XL2BB Add-in

Note that there is also a "Test Here” forum on this board. This is a place where you can test using this tool (or any other posting techniques that you want to test) before trying to use those tools in your actual posts.

Assuming your data is in column A starting in row 1, try this formula in B1 and copy it down.

=MID(A1,FIND("^^",SUBSTITUTE(A1,"/","^^",3))+1,9999)
