You have to us Instr to match the string. Example This Looks for the letters RW This is the line that it checks for the RW MyPos = Instr(1, SearchString, "RW") This is what you posted, plus I added 2 more spots to check for Then using Instr I have it popup each part of the array contents Sorry about the length of the script I made it that way for you to use as a template.
