Like Operator Not Working for Character List

Hi All,

When I run this code it does the exact opposite of what I want it do (if not contained in that character list then delete). So basically if it not in the character list then delete, but it if is in the character list it deletes....

Sub GetData()

Dim A As Long
Dim lngCounterStop As Long

lngCounterStop = Range("B2").End(xlDown).Offset(1)

A = 1
Do
A = A + 1
If Not Cells(A, 2).Value Like "[F*,H*,I*,K*,O*,Q*,U*,V*,X*,Y*,Z*,0*,1*,2*,3*,4*,5*,6*,7*,8*,9*]" Then
    Rows(A).EntireRow.Delete
End If
Loop Until Cells(A, 2) = lngCounterStop
End Sub

Yes, I am trying to check the first character and then any data after it. Basically a begins with.

Thanks for your respone, but why couldn't I use * and need to use the left function? I used LIKE before such as "ABC*" and it worked ok.

Thanks for the information. That makes sense to me now. I didn't know [] treated the list as a single character.
