    Ok, I did that and the wrong text got moved. What am I doing wrong here?

    And the moved text wasn't removed from column A, just copied.

    If you don't have a number pad, try this formula

    Formula: copy to clipboard
    =MID(A1, FIND("@",A1), FIND(" ",SUBSTITUTE(A1, CHAR(160)," ")&" ", FIND("@",A1)+1)-FIND("@",A1))

    My 2?

    substitute commas with semi-colons if your region settings requires
