Default InStr Function Question


I am trying to use the InStr function to determine if a text string i
contained within a cell, then delete the entire row if it is not found
move down 1 row, and loop until a blank cell is encountered.

It looks as if the syntax requires the text to be typed in the string
field, but I have different text in each cell that I want the functio
to run on.

InStr([start, ]string1, string2[, compare])

Can I put a range for string1
