Default Comparing Cell Contents using a Case statement

I am writing a macro that will compare cell contents, using a case statement.
Does a method exist where a comparison can be made on a portion of the cell
contents? For example, I might want to act on a cell that contains the word
"apple". The caveat is that "apple" is not the only thing in the cell
string. I tried to use "like" and "is", but received a compile error -
apparently "like" and "is" are not valid comparison operators. What else
could I try?
