    Using VBA to find a word in a line of text then return data to the right of it

    Hello There,

    This is part of a much wider thing but I'm getting tripped up on something.

    In the attached I want the red cell (B7) to look at it's header (B6), then search the large string of gibberish in A1 until it finds it.

    Then once it's found it I want it to return everything to its right that sits between |these symbols|. so the answer would be C_100

    If there is no text between the symbols I want it to enter <ALL> in the cell. As shown in the blue cell.

    If I get it working for the first couple I think I can figure it out for the rest. Please Help!

    It really feels like there's a more elegant way to do this, but here's my approach. Will work across all headers in row 6. If you have different positioning of data in your real workbook, the ranges will need to be changed to match.
