Hi, im sure im annoying you buy this point *soory. your last bit of code works great, but is there a way to swap around the but being connected? ie, have the words ending in consonants to connect to words begining with vowels (the opposite of whats happening now).



Also, could you explain to me how to add more to this code ("au", "ei", etc) i dont understand what the `!^32-^62\?\@` does

thanks for your help

Code:

This is the code i have so far, all of the vowels and cons work, but none of the ChrW characters work.

how can i get the characters to work, but also character combinations like ...

letter "a" on its own and letter "a&ChrW(601)" together?

Well, you could swap the terms around...
As I said in my previous post, to explicitly work with specified vowel pairs only, a different approach would be required. At present, the code works with any vowel sequences of any length, but can quite easily be limited to, say, no more than two vowels by nothing more complicated than changing {1,} to {1,2}.
That is a wildcard expression telling the Find process to not make matches with characters anywhere in the ASCII 32 to 62 range, or with ? or @ characters.

PS: Since your newest thread is really a continuation of the discussion already underway, I've merged the threads.
