[Resolved]Searching string array

[chaos7]

hi,

im new to VB - so hope ive come to the right place. basically i've got to create a macro that searches through highlighed text for characters (ie. comma's, fullstop, etc) and counts those occurents against actual words. Now i started this the basic way and highlighted text to detect the punctuation characters but im unable to get them to recoginse more than 1 punctuation character (is there an "OR" function in Instr?). Also not sure how to count them, i know i would store them in an array and then continue the count - but i'm having problems with that? could someone give me some insight on this?

thanks a lot.
