title: How can an asterisk be found in a string using InStr function?
body: <p>Microsoft documentation specifies to use <code>"~*"</code> to search for <code>"*"</code> in a string. <code>"~*"</code> and <code>"[*]"</code> don't work.</p>
  
  <p>String expression being searched:
  "Balık yağı, balık unu, yaş meyve, kuru meyve, sucuk pastırma, nebati yağ, süt ve süt mamulleri imalatında kullanılan iktisadi kıymetler ve özel araç gereçler *"</p>
  
  <pre><code>If InStr(1, WS.Cells(intRow, 6).Value, "~*", vbTextCompare) &gt; 0 then
      'Additional code here
  End If
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This code can not find asterisk character.</p>
