You might want to loop vData to purge the asterisk lines and any empty
line as would normally be found at then end of the file...

'Filter junk lines
For n = LBound(vData) to UBound(vData)
If (vData(n) = "") _
Or (InStr(vData(n), "*") 0) Then
vData(n) = "~": Exit For
Next 'n

'Filter profane words
For Each vWord In Split(sProfaneWords, ",")
For n = LBound(vData) to UBound(vData)
If (InStr(vData(n), vWord) 0) Then
vData(n) = "~": Exit For
Next 'n
Next 'vWord
vData = Filter(vData, "~", False)
