How to find and replace with regex in excel
I have an excel file with 1 column and multiple rows.
The rows contain various text, here's an example:
texts are home
texts are whatever
dafds
dgretwer
werweerqwr
texts are 21412
texts are 346345
texts are rwefdg
terfesfasd
rwerw
I want to replace "texts are *" where * is anything after "texts are" with a specific word, for example "texts are replaced". How can I do that in Excel?
Solution
As an alternative to Regex, running:
Sub Replacer()
Dim N As Long, i As Long
N = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
For i = 1 To N
If Left(Cells(i, "A").Value, 9) = "texts are" Then
Cells(i, "A").Value = "texts are replaced"
End If
Next i
End Sub
