Thanks Scott, but I need something that will delete the rows
automatically as I have +9000 rows of data. I might be misinterpreting
but it seems this only displays the number of characters.

What I said before should display the number of characters on each
line. You just sort by that, and then you do one delete to get rid of
everything you don't want (since they will all be contiguous rows).

Alternatively, instead of sorting, you can do an AutoFilter on that
column (the one with the lengths) with custom criteria to show all rows
that have total length less than your threshold, and delete those. This
method will preserve the order.

After either of these two, just delete the first column and you should
be back to normal without the rows you don't want.

And if you want it really automatic, you'll have to write a macro to do
it for you.

For the macro, you'd be best to loop through all the rows from last to
first and delete the lines one by one. (First to last introduces extra
complications)
