Thanks Claus, that works perfectly...

BTW, I just now realized that my string input will sometimes include punctuation marks at the end of words. The punctuation marks that I am most concerned about are periods, commas, and semi-colons. For example:

sWords = "person woman and man. TV, man, woman; but no person."

What's a good way to remove punctuation marks? That way, my strings only contain words without the punctuation marks to the right of words.

Thanks!
