Split words from column and re-join based on criteria from an array - excel

Question

I have a column "D" in my spreadsheet that contains a list of software to install. The list is very long and I only want a few applications to install. Here are a few examples:
Row2: License-E3; Minitab 17; Minitab 18; Proficy Historian 7.0; ;
Row3: License-E3; Attachmate Reflection for UNIX and OpenVMS 14.0; Perceptive Content Desktop Client;
Row4: License-E1; Avaya one-X® Communicator; PipelineBillingInterfaceSystemClient-V2_0; ; SAP-GUI-3Apps; Minitab 18
So, in the first example, I want column D row 2 to just say :
License-E3,Minitab 18
Row 3 to say : License-E3,Reflection
And 4 to say : License-E1,Minitab 18
The rows are auto filtered based on the User Id column, which is Column A in this sheet.
The commented section is basically what I want to do.
Here is my code so far:
Sub FilterSoftware()
Dim cl As Range, rng As Range, Lastrow As Integer, sSoft() As String, i As Long
Dim vSoft As Variant, sNew As String, j As Long, sNewSoft() As String
vSoft = Array("License-E3", "License-E1", "Reflection", "Minitab 18", "RSIGuard", "Java")
Dim Ws As Worksheet: Set Ws = Sheet1
With Ws
Lastrow = .Range("D" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
End With
Set rng = Range("D2:D" & Lastrow)
For Each cl In rng.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
sSoft = Split(cl, ";")
For i = LBound(sSoft) To UBound(sSoft)
If Not sSoft(i) = " " Then
For j = LBound(vSoft) To UBound(vSoft)
sNewSoft = Split(vSoft(j), " ")
Debug.Print Trim$(sSoft(i))
Debug.Print Trim$(vSoft(j))
'if sSoft(i) contains any words from vSoft(j)
'Join vSoft(j) with comma delimiter until full
'and overwrite in column D
Next j
End If
Next i
Next cl
End Sub

Please, use the next adapted code. It will return in the next column, only for testing reason. If it returns what you need, you can change cl.Offset(0, 1).Value = Join(sNew, ",") with cl.Value = Join(sNew, ","):
Sub FilterSoftware()
Dim cl As Range, rng As Range, Lastrow As Long, sSoft
Dim vSoft, sNew, i As Long, j As Long, t As Long
vSoft = Array("License-E3", "License-E1", "Reflection", "Minitab 18", "RSIGuard", "Java")
Dim Ws As Worksheet: Set Ws = ActiveSheet ' Sheet1
Lastrow = Ws.Range("D" & Ws.rows.count).End(xlUp).row
Set rng = Range("D2:D" & Lastrow)
ReDim sNew(UBound(vSoft)) 'redim the array to a dimension to be sure it will include all occurrences
For Each cl In rng.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
sSoft = Split(cl, ";")
For i = LBound(sSoft) To UBound(sSoft)
If Not sSoft(i) = "" Then 'for cases of two consecutive ";"
For j = LBound(vSoft) To UBound(vSoft)
If InStr(1, sSoft(i), vSoft(j), vbTextCompare) > 0 Then
sNew(t) = vSoft(j): t = t + 1: Exit For
End If
Next j
End If
Next i
If t > 0 Then
ReDim Preserve sNew(t - 1) 'keep only the array filled elements
cl.Offset(0, 1).Value = Join(sNew, ",") 'put the value in the next column (for testing reason)
ReDim sNew(UBound(vSoft)): t = 0 'reinitialize the variables
End If
Next cl
End Sub
