I want to match all punctuation character
I know can use 'p{P}' in PHP or other languages
but, it seems not works in VBA.
I try to usepattern = "[.,x0ax21x22x24x26x27x28x29x2ax2d
x3bx3cx3ex3fx5b2x5dx5ex60x7bx7cx7dx7e]"
but I think this not a good way, Can someone give me some advice? Thank you

Word and Excel have different "Find" functionality if you mean to search document content. So you shouldn't ask one question for the two different application interfaces. Then I recommend you research using "Find" within each application, starting with the options available in the dialog box. I don't know about Excel, but Word has extended functionality that can search specific character codes; it also has "wildcards" which is as close to RegEx as you can get in the Word interface.

@CindyMeister Now the problem is that I want to match any punctuation mark, and if I use wildcards (such as[,.:;{}()]. ), I always feel that some of punctuation mark will be missed. may be this Punctuation!in document, then I can't find it

Word has no way of specifying "any/all punctuation". You have to know what punctuation to inlcude... But the RegEx you show us is no different - that just lists character codes instead of literal characters.
