extract number between characters and order them - excel

Question

Hey I am thinking about a solution for my problem for hours now. I've searched the web, too and was able to find some approaches but none of them does work for my problem.
I have one cell with data that appears like this:
(Monday#100%[00:00-24:00]);(Tuesday#100%[00:00-24:00]);(Wednesday#100%[00:00-24:00]);(Thursday#100%[00:00-24:00]);(Friday#100%[00:00-24:00]);(Saturday#100%[00:00-24:00]);(Sunday#100%[00:00-24:00])
The problem is, that this string is not consistent. It could also look like this:
(Monday#125%[00:00-04:00]);(Monday#90%[04:00-08:00]);(Monday#90%[08:00-12:00]);(Monday#115%[12:00-16:00]);(Monday#120%[16:00-20:00]);(Monday#115%[20:00-24:00]);(Tuesday#125%[00:00-04:00]);(Tuesday#90%[04:00-08:00]);(Tuesday#90%[08:00-12:00]);(Tuesday#115%[12:00-16:00]);(Tuesday#120%[16:00-20:00]);(Tuesday#115%[20:00-24:00]);(Wednesday#125%[00:00-04:00]);(Wednesday#90%[04:00-08:00]);(Wednesday#90%[08:00-12:00]);(Wednesday#115%[12:00-16:00]);(Wednesday#120%[16:00-20:00]);(Wednesday#115%[20:00-24:00]);(Thursday#125%[00:00-04:00]);(Thursday#90%[04:00-08:00]);(Thursday#90%[08:00-12:00]);(Thursday#115%[12:00-16:00]);(Thursday#120%[16:00-20:00]);(Thursday#115%[20:00-24:00]);(Friday#125%[00:00-04:00]);(Friday#90%[04:00-08:00]);(Friday#90%[08:00-12:00]);(Friday#115%[12:00-16:00]);(Friday#120%[16:00-20:00]);(Friday#115%[20:00-24:00]);(Saturday#125%[00:00-04:00]);(Saturday#90%[04:00-08:00]);(Saturday#90%[08:00-12:00]);(Saturday#115%[12:00-16:00]);(Saturday#120%[16:00-20:00]);(Saturday#115%[20:00-24:00]);(Sunday#125%[00:00-04:00]);(Sunday#90%[04:00-08:00]);(Sunday#90%[08:00-12:00]);(Sunday#115%[12:00-16:00]);(Sunday#120%[16:00-20:00]);(Sunday#115%[20:00-24:00])
The structure of the string is
You have a day of the week followed by an "#"
after the at (#) you have a number that can be between 0 and 999
after that you have a time of the day in brackets []
You can have up to 6 different time frames of one day (not more, but less)
each time frame cluster is separated by ; and within normal brackets ()
So this is my starting position. What I want is to extract the numbers between # and % and list them chronologically (Monday to Sunday, hours of the day).
I was able to extract the number between # and % for each day of the week with this formula
=MID(B3;SEARCH("Monday#";B3)+7;SEARCH("%";B3)-SEARCH("Monday#";B3)-7)
But this only works if each day of the week is mentioned only ones.
I am out of ideas of how I could get it to work when having more time frames per day. Appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Ramon

Answer 1

Try an set of iterative searches, where the next search starts at the position found for the previous result. ie:
in cell B6 put =SEARCH("]",$B$3,B5+1)
in cell C6 put =MID($B$3,SEARCH("(",$B$3,B5+1)+1,SEARCH("#",$B$3,B5+1)-SEARCH("(",$B$3,B5+1)-1)
in cell D6 put =MID($B$3,SEARCH("[",$B$3,B5+1)+1,SEARCH("]",$B$3,B5+1)-SEARCH("[",$B$3,B5+1)-1)
in cell E6 put =MID($B$3,SEARCH("#",$B$3,B5+1)+1,SEARCH("%",$B$3,B5+1)-SEARCH("#",$B$3,B5+1)-1)
(Note that B5 needs to be empty (or 0) for this to start correctly)
You can then fill down as far as needed to pick up each term. If they are out of order, then you can order on column D then C (the time then the day).

Answer 2

This might get you started.
Sub Extractor()
Dim data() As String, i As Integer, rw As Integer
rw = 3
data = Split(Range("A1"), ";")
For i = 0 To UBound(data)
Range("A" & rw) = VBA.Mid$(data(i), 2, InStr(1, data(i), "#") - 2) 'Day
Range("B" & rw) = VBA.Mid$(data(i), InStr(1, data(i), "#") + 1, InStr(1, data(i), "%") - InStr(1, data(i), "#") - 1) '% number
Range("C" & rw) = VBA.Mid$(data(i), InStr(1, data(i), "[") + 1, InStr(1, data(i), "]") - InStr(1, data(i), "[") - 1) 'Time
rw = rw + 1
Next i
End Sub
Notes:
Assumes your string is in A1
Prints your data in columns A, B, and C starting in row 3

Answer 3

You can use Text-to-Columns feature of excel, with ) as a delimiter. Than transpose the columns into rows to get something like this:
(Monday#125%[00:00-04:00]
;(Monday#90%[04:00-08:00]
;(Monday#90%[08:00-12:00]
;(Monday#115%[12:00-16:00]
;(Monday#120%[16:00-20:00]
...
;(Sunday#115%[20:00-24:00]
Then apply formulas.
Edit:
Using just Find and Mid you can achieve this:
The idea behind find and mid is always the same.
Ex. for finding ( is =FIND("(";[Text]).
Ex. for extracting Day is =MID([Text];[#[Pos(]]+1;[#[Pos'#]]-[#[Pos(]]-1)
