    <p>Here is the way to do it in VBA flavor: Replace "^[^""]*" with "".</p> <ul> <li>^ marks the start of the sentence.</li> <li>[^""]* marks anything other than a quote sign.</li> </ul> <p>UPDATE: Since in your additional comment you mentioned you wanted to grab the "From:" and the email address, but none of the junk in between or after, I figure instead of replace, extract would be better. Here is a VBA function written for Excel that will give you back all the subgroup matches (everything you put in parenthesis) and nothing else.</p> <pre><code>Function RegexExtract(ByVal text As String, _ ByVal extract_what As String) As String Application.ScreenUpdating = False Dim i As Long Dim result As String Dim allMatches As Object Dim RE As Object Set RE = CreateObject("vbscript.regexp") RE.Pattern = extract_what RE.Global = True Set allMatches = RE.Execute(text) For i = 0 To allMatches.Item(0).submatches.count - 1 result = result &amp; allMatches.Item(0).submatches.Item(i) Next RegexExtract = result Application.ScreenUpdating = True End Function </code></pre> <p>Using this code, your regex call would be: "^(.+: ).+(&lt;.+>).*"</p> <ul> <li>^ denotes start of sentence</li> <li>(.+: ) denotes first match group. .+ is one or more characters, followed by : and a space</li> <li>.+ denotes one or more characters</li> <li>(&lt;.+>) denotes second match group. &lt; is &lt;, then .+ for one or more characters, then the final ></li> <li><p>.* denotes zero or more</p> <p>characters.</p></li> </ul> <p>So in excel you'd use (assuming cell is A1):</p> <pre><code>=RegexExtract(A1, "^(.+: ).+(&lt;.+&gt;).*") </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
