'  The second function below is mainly intended to make a modification to get the correct results in German Telekom Freemail t-online.de , but also the large html text not required from the start and a small amount at the end is also removed. (It does not need to be removed as it appears that it is ignored)
Public Function MyLenghtyDiesScreaming_Telekom(ByVal MyLengfyScream As String) As String '  Effectively this Dim's  MyLenghtyDiesScreaming_Telekom  as a String variable and  MyLenghtyDiesScreaming_Telekom  can be used as such in this function code.  Assigning a variable to this in a main code will cause  the value held by VBA in the variable  MyLenghtyDiesScreaming_Telekom   at that point to be out in the assigned variable, but fist the main code will be paused at  this "calling"  code line whilst the Function code is carried out.  So we have the chance to do something in the function to fill that variable, MyLenghtyDiesScreaming_Telekom . We can take one or more things in in the ( ) to use . In this case we want to take a string in and then return it modified , hence the last code line is simply   MyLenghtyDiesScreaming_Telekom = MyLengfyScream
Dim CntPus As Long '      A number constant for the positions of characters used in a couple of places.        Long is very simple to handle, - final memory "size" type is known (123.456 and 000.001 have same "size" computer memory ) , and so a Address suggestion can be given for the next line when the variable is filled in.  '( Long is a Big whole Number limit (-2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647) If you need some sort of validation the value should only be within the range of a Byte/Integer otherwise there's no point using anything but Long.--upon/after 32-bit, Integers (Short) need converted internally anyways, so a Long is actually faster. )       https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/excel-questions/803662-byte-backward-loop-4.html
