Turn on the macro recorder and to it manually. Turn off the macro recorder.
Study the code. You can certainly replace the hard coded argument values
with variables containing values you have elicited from the user.
If it doesn't work with more than 255 characters, then that is a limitation
(and I agree it doesn't).
You would have to go cell by cell and use the vba replace function.
this demonstrates that the vba replace works with long strings:
Sub BB()
Dim i As Long, icnt As Long
Dim s1 As String, s As String
For i = 1 To 32000
s1 = Chr(Int(Rnd() * 26 + 65))
If s1 = "A" Then icnt = icnt + 1
s = s & s1
Next
Debug.Print Len(s) - Len(Replace(s, "A", "")), icnt
End Sub
