    Exclamation find string within a string

    Guys-

    A text file with many elements is placed in column A1.
    I am interested in extracting the elements value and placing it in its appropriate cell.

    Column A1
    87LPP=5.00 87LP1 = 4.3 50PP1 = 0.67
    50PD = 2 51PD = 3.00 79 = Y

    for example, I'd like to find 87LPP in column 1, and put 5.00 into range G1. then find 87LP1 and put 4.3 into range G2, then find 50PP1 and put 0.67 into range G3.

    The issue I am having is that sometimes spaces between the equal signs may be 1 or 2 or even 3 spaces between values. here's a snipet of code I've come up with, but it's not working entirely.

    Your help would be much appreciated, thanks
