How to extract letters from the string
Requirement:
The user needs to extract all the letters within the string, separated by comma.
Now the code extracts first letters only.
Please your help with modifying an user defined function:
Code:
Function ExtractLetter(str As String)
Dim TDCode As String
Dim result As String
On Error GoTo ErrHandler:
With CreateObject("vbscript.regexp")
.Pattern = "[A-Z]+"
ExtractLetter = .Execute(str)(2)
End With
Exit Function
ErrHandler:
End Function
Input: HKJ234CBV546LL
Output (is): HKJ
Output (ought): HKJ,CBV,LL
Solution:
Code:
Function RemoveNumbers(Txt As String) As String
With CreateObject("VBScript.RegExp")
.Global = True
.Pattern = "[0-9]"
RemoveNumbers = .Replace(Txt, " ")
End With
End Function
Should you need to insert commas between the letters ... you could add following instruction :
Code:
RemoveNumbers = Replace(Application.WorksheetFunction.Trim(RemoveNumbers), " ", ",")
