Excel Delete Help

[xcaliber13 3]

Hi,

     I am trying to delete a cell in excel if  a cell contains a key word.   The cell also has other text.   I use this if the cell only contains a single word.

For $a = 1 To $aLastRow
    $aCell = _Excel_RangeRead($oWorkbook, Default, "K" & $a)
    If $aCell = "APT" Then _Excel_RangeInsert($oWorkBook.Activesheet, "K" & $a, $xlShiftToRight)
Next

So this works great but only if that cell only contains "APT".  How would I do this so that if the cell contains APT 1  or APT 2 and so on it would still do the delete?  In VBS there is a "like" command.   What is the syntax for like in  AutoIt?   I tried   $aCell.Value.like   but AutoIt does not like that.  Gives me a syntax error

Thank you

how about

If StringInStr($aCell, 'APT') Then _Excel_RangeInsert($oWorkBook.Activesheet, "K" & $a, $xlShiftToRight)

obviously if the string is 'capt' it will match as well, depends on what other text maybe in the cells.

benners,

             StringInStr!   What a brilliant idea!   Works like a charm.

Thank you
