Default VBA: How to match two sets?

In VBA for Excel (2007), is there an easy way to get a True result if
*any* character in one set matches *any* characters in another set?

If I understand the Like operator, the result is True only if *all*
characters in the first set match a character in the second set.



I would like to pass a string of debug parameters to a UDF. Each
parameter is a single character, such as:

"M" = Display a message
"B" = Set a breakpoint
"I" = Dump some info to the immediate window.

I would like to pass these as a string that can include zero or more
in any order and I'd like it to work whether they come in as upper or
lower case:


=MyUDF(p1,p2,...,"im")
=MyUDF(p1,p2,...,"B")
=MyUDF(p1,p2,...,D5)

I fooled around with the Like operator, but couldn't get it to work
without some setup work. Here's what I came up with. Please comment:

Public Function MyUDF(P1, P2, Optional DebugStr As String)
DebugStr = "[" & UCase(DebugStr) & "]"

If "B" Like DebugStr Then Debug.Assert False
If "M" Like DebugStr Then MsgBox "Test message", , "DSPwr"

...
End Function

Is there a better way?
