Default Find

Thanks for getting back so soon, however I don't want to replace the dash, I
want to delete any rows where the 3rd character = "-"

Try SUBSTITUTE() with the text in cell A1

I have numbers in column A that don't belong such as;
74-350-77-50
18-350-077-51
36-100-001-03

the 3rd digit should not be a "-"
the rest of them would read
74350-77-50
18350-077-51
36100-001-03

What I need to do is find them and delete that row

Any ideas?
