I am copying a text file into excel (all one column A) from a database and
want to delete rows that have the following information:
the date for example 08/14/2008 followed by QMS Log Page 69 of 79 (this will
of course be 1 of 79 etc). I have tried to use some of the threads seen in
this discussion group in a macro but with no luck. My attempt is
Sub testme02()

Dim MyRng As Range
Dim FoundCell As Range
Dim wks As Worksheet
Dim myStrings As Variant
Dim iCtr As Long

myStrings = Array("QMS Log Page") 'add more strings if you need

Set wks = ActiveSheet

With wks
Set MyRng = .Range("a2:a" & .Rows.Count)
End With

For iCtr = LBound(myStrings) To UBound(myStrings)
Do
With MyRng
Set FoundCell = .Cells.Find(what:=myStrings(iCtr), _
after:=.Cells(.Cells.Count), _
LookIn:=xlValues, _
lookat:=xlWhole, _
searchorder:=xlByRows, _
searchdirection:=xlNext, _
MatchCase:=False)

If FoundCell Is Nothing Then
Exit Do
Else
FoundCell.EntireRow.Delete
End If
End With
Loop
Next iCtr
End Sub
