Default Help - Deleting Rows on Text Criteria

I've created some code that imports a fixed width text file and formats
it into columns according to field length. Some of these rows begin
with "@1" and some begin with "@2". The client only wants the rows that
begin with "@1". No problem (so I thought), I'll just create a loop to
go through the rows and delete rows that contain "@2" in column A.
Except that I can't get it to work. Here is the code I'm using:


Just a thought, but wouldn't it be quicker to filter the whole sheet
to display the "@2" rows, (or preferably rows Not Equal to @1) and
then use the

Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Range("your_range").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible ).Rows.Delete

then switch the filter off?
