Example: vba text between delimiters

' Returns first text between pOpen and pClose (both can't contain "/" character...)

    endC = InStr(1, pSource, pClose)
    If startC > 0 And Len(pSource) - startC - (Len(pSource) - endC) > 0 Then
        ExtractTag = Mid(pSource, startC, _
      		Len(pSource) - startC - (Len(pSource) - endC))
