Chip code problem - conditional formatting colors GetStrippedValue

Re http://www.cpearson.com/excel/CFColors.htm

The function at the bottom of his page is GetStrippedValue. I have
had problems there. With all gracious respect to the Mighty C, the
statement
Temp = Mid(CF, 3, Len(CF) - 3)
seems bogus. E.g., what if the condition arg was "=IV6" as opposed to
"=I6" (all quotation marks are my own, not the conditional format's),
for a cell with [the sole] conditional "not equal to"

I've contemplated possible replacements:
Temp = Mid(CF, 2)
Temp = Mid(CF,1+InStr(1,CF,"=",vbTextCompare),Len(CF)-InStr(1,CF,"=",vbTextCompare))

I'm fuzzy on the drift of GetStrippedValue anyway so I'm open to
elucidation.

Emails reporting this don't seem to be getting there. Are your ears
on, Chip?!
