    detecting more than 1 dot in dot separated items

    Hi All,
    I have dot-separated items in Col A as this:
    apple.orange

    Now I want to find the items which have more than 1 dots in them as this:
    apple..orange or
    apple.orange.banana

    Can anyone help in this?

    Any help will be highly appreciated.
