That does it, Russ, thanks!

I have a regex pattern that picks up on strings containing a number followed by a letter or letters, but I need it to pick up on strings where there is a space between the number and the letters that come after it. My current pattern is this: s*\d{1,3}[A-M]. It will pick up 18ABC but not 18 ABC. I haven't used RegEx for a while and I can't remember how to write that. &nbsp;I'm working in Excel if that makes a difference.<br />

Thanks!<br />

Modifying a RegEx pattern to work whether or not there is a space between two elements.

Microsoft Excel topics include formulas, formatting, VBA macros and user-defined functions, and everything else related to the spreadsheet user interface, including error messages.

A regular expression ("regex") is a sequence of characters that define a search pattern, mainly for use in pattern matching with strings, or string matching, i.e. "find and replace"-like operations. Regular expression processors are found in several search engines, search and replace dialogs of several word processors and text editors, and in the command lines of text processing utilities, such as sed and AWK. Many programming languages provide regular expression capabilities, some built-in, for example Perl, JavaScript, Ruby, AWK, and Tcl, and others via a standard library, for example .NET languages, Java, Python and C++ (since C++11). Most other languages offer regular expressions via a library.
