I have a column with 10000+ rows containing text.  The text follows a naming convention of TEXT - TEXT - TEXT.  I want to check for all rows where there are no spaces before and after each instance of "-" . For example "Text- Text - Text", "Text -Text - Text" and "Text - Text- Text" etc should all be highlighted as errors. Each text string includes letters and numbers and can have between 1 and 5 instances of "-" in each.  I have tried various options in the regular find/replace tool including wildcards without success.  I'm guessing I'll have to go down the VBA route but I can't figure out how. Can anyone advise please?
