    Deleting many sheets with similar names

    Hi there,

    I was just curious if I could delete a large number of sheets, all with similar names in a single for loop. I want to be able to delete sheets like "Sheet13" and "Sheet45". Is there a character or symbol that means any number?

    For Each sh In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
    ActiveWorkbook.sheets("Sheet" & 'symbol?').Delete
    Next sh
    If you have another way of doing it that would also be very helpfull.

    Thanks alot!

    In what way will they be similar? What determines which to delete?
    Hope that helps.

    The only thing that the differant sheets have in common are the name "Sheet". I want to be able to delete any worksheet with the name "Sheet", regardless of the number.

    Thanks for the fast reply!
