    extract string after nth string (special character)

    Hi. Please help on extracting strings after the square character (alt+0141). On B1, I would like to put formula that will output the string after 2nd  character and between the next square character(alt + 0141) as shown below. B1 should have output : RES



    A1: CTPRSRES13.88



    Thank you

    One way:

    =TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A1,CHAR(141),
    REPT(" ",255),3),CHAR(141),REPT(" ",255),2),255,255))
