<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
Looking for string manipulation code to look for and pull out 1 or more occurances of a piece of text that always ends with 2 asterisks and is preceeded by a space, like so:<br />
<br />
This table contains a description column containing text that I wish to extract** and place in other columns in my table. &nbsp;This is a way to extract keywords from articles** and provide a table for keyword lookups. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
So the returned values from the text above would be &quot;extract&quot; and &quot;articles&quot;.

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.

Microsoft Access is a rapid application development (RAD) relational database tool. Access can be used for both desktop and web-based applications, and uses VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) as its coding language.

VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an interpreted scripting language developed by Microsoft that is modeled on Visual Basic, but with some important differences. VBScript is commonly used for automating administrative and other tasks in Windows operating systems (by means of the Windows Script Host) and for server-side scripting in ASP web applications. It is also used for client-side scripting in Internet Explorer, specifically in intranet web applications.
