Another Quark Question

I need to verify if a number is correct within a text
box.
The following works great for a single instance.
Unfortunately, I am now told that the text may contain
multiple instances of the number to check.

How would I go about checking the text for more than a
single instance without doing a repeat with every
character routine.
Is this possible?

-----start
property theText1 : {}

tell application "QuarkXPress"
	set theText1 to text of current box as text
	set charcount to number of characters in theText1
end tell

set theOff to offset of "#" in theText1
set TheECode to (characters (theOff) thru (theOff +
3)) of theText1 as text

-------end

thanks for your help
Oakley
