Default Delete rows that DO NOT contain certain text

Hi. I have a file that has several sheets, and each sheet is about
40k rows long. It was an import from a text file. In column B is a
long text string. I need to delete all rows in every sheet that DO
NOT contain the word "logoff" OR "timeout" OR "logon" somewhere in the
cell in column B.

I am basically trying to delete the stuff I don't need so the file is
more manageable and can be worked with. Thanks in advance for your
help!

Steph
