Smile Finding a character in a text string (take3)

I am trying to write a macro to find if an item exists within a cell and if so keep the row on which the cell resides cell or else delete it.

For example in the cell will be the text "London, Brimingham, Bristol" and I would like to put a search cname for London and have the row kept, but if I typed in Liverpool the row would be deleted.

The search name is on another worksheet in the spreadsheet.

The code I currently have is the following:

LRow = 1

While IsEmpty(Range("K" & CStr(LRow)).Value) = False
If Range("M" & CStr(LRow)).Value < Range("SM!D6") Then
Range("A" & LRow & ":T" & LRow).Select
Selection.Delete

' Decrement counter since row was deleted

LRow = LRow - 1

End If

LRow = LRow + 1

Wend

How can I get the code Range("SM!D6") to include a subset that is the search name? I have tried various methods such as Range("*""SM!D6""*") and various other combinations but cannot get it to work.

SM is the other worksheet name and D6 is the cell where the search name is chosen.

Please any thoughts as I am really stuck.

Bulent.
