Set wb = ActiveWorkbook

Application.DisplayAlerts = False

For Each ws In wb.Worksheets
    If ws.Name = worksheetName Then
        ws.Delete
        Exit For

Application.DisplayAlerts = True

End Sub

VBA: Check if string StartsWith / StartWith or EndsWith / EndWith

Problem

Visual Basic for application does not have function to test, whether a string starts with or ends with another string like it is included in the .NET Framework

Approach

Those function can easily created by using the existing string functions

Solution

The following code can be pasted to a VBA project:

Public Function EndsWith(str As String, ending As String) As Boolean
     Dim endingLen As Integer
     endingLen = Len(ending)
     EndsWith = (Right(Trim(UCase(str)), endingLen) = UCase(ending))
End Function

Public Function StartsWith(str As String, start As String) As Boolean
     Dim startLen As Integer
     startLen = Len(start)
     StartsWith = (Left(Trim(UCase(str)), startLen) = UCase(start))
End Function

Example usage:

If StartsWith(„My string has something in it“, „My string“) Then Msg Box „It is in it!“
If EndsWith(„My string has something in it“, „in it“) Then Msg Box „It is in it!“
