Need help nesting some formulas

[jceg316]

Hello. I'm trying to get some information from within a cell. As I'm working with URLs, the first bit is the same in all of them but I need to get the bit that's different isolated in a separate cell. Does anyone know a quicker way of doing this?

For example:
I cell A1 I have the full URL: /products/acrylic-colours/artists-acrylic-colour-/colour-chart/antique-gold/ ("antique-gold" is the bit of the URL I want to isolate).

In cell B1 I have the formula:=SUBSTITUTE(A1,TRIM(RIGHT(LEFT(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"chart/",REPT(" ",100)),100),100)),"") which returns "chart/antique-gold/"

In cell C1 I have the formula: =RIGHT(B1, LEN(B1)-6) which returns "antique-gold"

Is there a way to combine these 3 formulas so in cell B1 I can get the result "antique-gold"? This needs to be scalable as well to hundreds of URLs. But what they all have in common is /products/acrylic-colours/artists-acrylic-colour-/colour-chart/ at the beginning and a backslash on the end.

Thanks in advance.

you may need to change the title of your thread
see rules http://www.excelforum.com/forum-rule...rum-rules.html

1. Use concise, accurate thread titles. Your post title should describe your problem, not your anticipated solution. Use terms appropriate to a Google search. Poor thread titles, like Please Help, Urgent, Need Help, Formula Problem, Code Problem, and Need Advice will be addressed according to the OP's experience in the forum: If you have less than 10 posts, expect (and respond to) a request to change your thread title. If you have 10 or more posts, expect your post to be locked, so you can start a new thread with an appropriate title.

To change the title of the thread, click EDIT on the original post, then click the Go Advanced button, then change the title. If two or more days have passed, the EDIT button will not appear, and you need to ask a moderator to change the title.

are you looking for the word Antique-gold in the string
OR
are you looking for whatever follows chart/

it returns
chart/antique-gold/
and then
antique-gold/

=RIGHT(A1, LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,TRIM(RIGHT(LEFT(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"chart/",REPT(" ",100)),100),100)),""))-6)

My last message didn't seem to post...

I am looking for whatever follows "chart/". Your formula worked really well thanks.
