    Finding substrings in a string

    Hello,

    I want a formula that will look at a string and find one of several possible substrings, then output the matching substring.

    Example:

    String (Column A)

    yellow

    Valid Substrings (Column B)

    llo
    ang
    lue
    re

    The formula should return "llo" for yellow.
