James,
You're right- if the initial test gets a UPC match, you won't need to test each character during stripping. But you might want to add an Exit after the for...next - or could there be more than one UPC in the description?
We should suggest that one of these gets put up each week for fun!
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
