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:

$< +Q .A .B .C .E .F .G .H .P .W 092!B 0PVNV 0WLBA A00 DPA G! I# M2CC W.

<colgroup><col></colgroup><tbody>
</tbody>

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

If your data has zip codes, postal codes, or city names, select the data and use Insert, 3D Map. (Found to right of chart icons).

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
