Answer 1

If the string is “Value of A is [1.0234] and Value of B is [3.2345]”

If you want to extract the value of B i.e., 3.2345, then

firstDelPos = InStrRev(textline, “[“) ‘ position of start delimiter
secondDelPos = InStrRev(textline, “]”) ‘ position of end delimiter

stringBwDels = Mid(textline, firstDelPos + 1, secondDelPos – firstDelPos – 1) ‘ extract the string between two delimiters

MsgBox (stringBwDels) ‘ message shows string between two delimiters
