An improved version of spere's answer (can't edit his answer), which works for any pattern
Private Function GetNumLoc(textValue As String, pattern As String) As Integer
For GetNumLoc = 1 To (Len(textValue) - Len(pattern) + 1)
If Mid(textValue, GetNumLoc, Len(pattern)) Like pattern Then Exit Function
Next
GetNumLoc = 0
End Function
To get the pattern value you can use this:
Private Function GetTextByPattern(textValue As String, pattern As String) As String
Dim NumLoc As Integer
For NumLoc = 1 To (Len(textValue) - Len(pattern) + 1)
If Mid(textValue, NumLoc, Len(pattern)) Like pattern Then
GetTextByPattern = Mid(textValue, NumLoc, Len(pattern))
Exit Function
End If
Next
GetTextByPattern = ""
End Function
Example use:
dim bill as String
bill = "BILLNUMBER 2202/1132/1 PT2200136"
Debug.Print GetNumLoc(bill , "PT#######")
'Printed result:
'24
Debug.Print GetTextByPattern(bill , "PT#######")
'Printed result:
'PT2200136
