I've seen several posts on how to do this, but in each of these situations the cells used for deleting had one piece of information in it. I have cells that have a long string of values and I need to delete the row for a specific part of the string. This is what one cell looks like:

[TABLE="width: 1099"]
<colgroup><col></colgroup><tbody>[TR]
[TD]$< +Q .A .B .C .E .F .G .H .P .W 092!B 0PVNV 0WLBA A00 DPA G! I# M2CC W.[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

I need to delete any row where this cell, call it column H, contains the ".C" value in the string.
 

Excel Facts

Difference between two dates
Secret function! Use =DATEDIF(A2,B2,"Y")&" years"&=DATEDIF(A2,B2,"YM")&" months"&=DATEDIF(A2,B2,"MD")&" days"
Try

Code:
Sub test()
Dim LR As Long, i As Long
LR = Range("H" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
For i = LR To 1 Step -1
    If Range("H" & i).Value Like "*.C*" Then Rows(i).Delete
Next i
End Sub
