In Excel 2010 I have a single-column range (1x50) whose cells each contain zero up to a few short alphanumeric snippets separated by spaces (eg: etf, ad, etf 3m5, f hei7, etfg ...etc.). I need a VBA function which, when aimed at the range, hides (or un-hides) every row in which a specific snippet is found. If the snippet is "etf", both the cell with "etf" and the cell with "etf 3m5" above would be hidden, but the cell with "etfg" would not. If no snippet is provided, every row in the range is hidden.
The pseudo-code below lays out the logic I think, but I need help translating that into Excel 2010 VBA code. Assistance very much appreciated. - Jim

Code:
function HideTheseRows( theRange as range, theSnippet as string, hideIt as boolean) as boolean
if LENB(theSnippet)=0 then
hide all of the rows in the range
else
for each cell in(theRange)
if cell contains(theSnippet) then
cell.row.hidden=hideIt
end if
end for
end if
HideTheseRows=TRUE
end sub
