    Moving information from within a cell

    Hi there,

    Apologies if I'm posting in the wrong place - first timer...

    I have hundreds of cells populated with references like this:

    Deary IJ, Gale CR, Stewart MC, Fowkes FG, Murray GD. Intelligence and persisting with medication for two years: Analysis in a randomised controlled trial. Intelligence 2009;37:607-612.


    Duggleby SL, Jackson AA. Cut-off points for anthropometric indices of adiposity: differential classification in a large population of young women. Br J Nutr 2009;101:424-430.


    All information is within one cell.

    What I need to do is create a new column with only the journal title - which is the only text that appears in italics (ie from above it is Intelligence, Br J Nutr .

    Is there any way of doing this other than manually?!!

    Many thanks.

    Hi and welcome

    Couple questions:

    1. Will the text always be before the number at the end?
    2. Will the text always be after the 2nd last period (fullstop)?

    If the above is true then you can use this
