You don't need your version of 'StrSec'. The code I posted will already find multiple secondary expressions for each primary string. It also looks to me like your revision would simply overwrite the StrSec that's already in use.

Have you actually tried the code as I posted it? As I said, it works fine in my testing - with multiple primary and secondary strings.

Yes, I tried it how you posted it. I'm going to retry it tomorrow and check to make sure its case sensitive. For this macro it would also help to be able to feed it a list for the first search string because they add up to more than 256 characters.

So, for the searches, if my primary search is DIN/A123456789|DIN/987654 and my secondary is NAM|ID|.QW ., the three secondaries will be searched for each primary. Thanks.
