VBA search and copy - vba

Question

I'm automating an update I have to do and part of the macro I want to write needs specific text from what gets populated.
I have the following types of text in the same column for hundreds of rows:
ScreenRecording^naushi02^procr^10035
procr^10635^ScreenRecording^misby01
ScreenRecording^liw03^procr^10046
I've bold the text I need. I want to either replace the whole text with just what I need or place what I need in the next column, same row.
I had wrote something which worked for 60 or so lines before I realised that there are variations in the format. For the main, it's all the same which is why I didn't realise at first and I've spent a lot of wasted time writing something that is now useless... so I'm asking for expert help please.
Once I've got what I need from the first row, I need to move down until the last entry repeating.
I had some code which obviously didn't work fully.
I have thought about using the text 'ScreenRecording' in a search along with the special character which I can't find on my keyboard and then trying to copy all text from that point upto and including the 2nd numerical character. I don't know how to do this, if it would work or even if it's a good idea but because I've spent so much time trying to figure it out, I need some help please.
Thanks in advance

Answer 1

If you always want to return the value after the word 'ScreenRecording`, you can use the following function to do so.
Include it in a SubRoutine to replace in place if needed:
Function SplitScreenRecording(sInput As String) As String
Dim a As Variant
Const SDELIM As String = "^"
Const LOOKUP_VAL As String = "ScreenRecording"
a = Split(sInput, SDELIM)
If IsError(Application.Match(LOOKUP_VAL, a, 0)) Then
SplitScreenRecording = CVErr(2042)
Else
SplitScreenRecording = a(Application.Match(LOOKUP_VAL, a, 0))
End If
End Function
Sub ReplaceInPlace()
Dim rReplace As Range
Dim rng As Range
Set rReplace = Range("A1:A3")
For Each rng In rReplace
rng.Value = SplitScreenRecording(rng.Value)
Next rng
End Sub

if you want to replace:
Sub main2()
Dim key As String
Dim replacementStrng As String
key = "ScreenRecording"
replacementStrng = "AAA"
With Worksheets("mysheet01").columns("A") '<--| change "mysheet01" and "A" to your actual sheet name and column to filter
.Replace what:=key & "^*^", replacement:=key & "^" & replacementStrng & " ^ ", LookAt:=xlPart
.Replace what:="^" & key & "^*", replacement:="^" & key & "^" & replacementStrng, LookAt:=xlPart
End With
End Sub
while if you want to place what you need in the next column:
Sub main()
Dim myRng As Range
Set myRng = GetRange(Worksheets("mysheet01").columns("A"), "ScreenRecording^") '<--| change "mysheet01" and "A" to your actual sheet name and column to filter
myRng.Offset(, 1) = "value that I need to place in next row" '<--| change the right part of the assignment to what you need
End Sub
Function GetRange(rng As Range, key As String) As Range
With rng
.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="*" & key & "*" '<--| apply current filtering
If Application.WorksheetFunction.Subtotal(103, .Cells) > 0 Then '<--| if there are visible cells other than the "header" one
With .SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants)
If InStr(.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Cells(1, 1), key & "^") > 0 Then
Set GetRange = .SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible) '<--|select all visible cells
Else
Set GetRange = .Resize(.Parent.Cells(.Parent.Rows.Count, .Column).End(xlUp).row - 1).Offset(1).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible) '<--|select visible rows other than the first ("headers") one
End If
End With
End If
.Parent.AutoFilterMode = False '<--| remove drop-down arrows
End With
End Function
