Thanks for your reply, it totally makes sense, however I wasn't explicit enough in my question. You've coded the search pattern specifically for the example I gave above, but truly, the 4 or 5 characters in the second column could be ANY character, and not necessarily be delimited by ' as they are in the example above.
