    Is there any formula can read the data from the file name and mark it onto an excel file ?

    Every month, I need to scan thousands of testing reports into PDF format.

    The File naming system is : XXX ZZZZZ 2023-MM-DD.pdf

    XXX : station code (3 digits)
    ZZZZZ : Machine Number (from 2 digits to 5 digits)

    ALL pdf files will store in a directory
    C:\2023-01\XXX ZZZ 2023-MM-DD.pdf


    For example :
    I created 5 different PDF files

    CEN EAP1 2023-01-10.PDF
    CIO L2 2023-01-24.PDF
    JOR BL1 2023-01-07.PDF
    LIV L1 2023-01-21.PDF
    LON L1 2023-01-18.PDF


    My question is :
    Is there any excel formula be able to read from the above pdf file names and automatically mark "PM" in the attached excel file ?


    Or, is there any other intelligent ways to do the same ?
