How to find the exact value in an Excel worksheet

How can I find the string value in an excel sheet. I try objRange.Find(), but it also gives me the wrong address. As an example, I want the address "Object_paint", but it also gives the address "Object_paint_and_stk"

How can I get only the exact value.?

Set objWorksheet = objWorkbook.Worksheets(worksheet)
Set objRange = objWorksheet.Range("B2:B600")    
Set objFind = objRange.Find("object_paint")

If Not objFind Is Nothing Then
    searchValue = objFind.AddressLocal(False, False)
end if

First strike for

excel range.find exact match site:microsoft.com

is an:

Range.find

There you will find

LookAt Type: System.Object

Optional Object. Can be one of the following XlLookAt constants: xlWhole or xlPart.

and following the LookAt link , you will see:

xlPart  Match against any part of the search text.
xlWhole Match against the whole of the search text.

BTW: Who is objTarget?

Update:

You need the “port” (some hints here ) the VBA code snippet that you specify in your VBScript comment:

Option Explicit

' Define Excel Consts unknown to VBScript
Const xlPart  = 2 
Const xlWhole = 1 

Dim oExcel : Set oExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
Dim oWBook : Set oWBook = oExcel.Workbooks.Open("M:\lib\kurs0705\testdata\ut.xls")
Dim oRange : Set oRange = oWBook.Sheets("NewSheet").Range("A1:A11")
' translate named args to positional args
' expression.Find(What, After, LookIn, LookAt, SearchOrder, SearchDirection, MatchCase, MatchByte)
Dim oFnd1  : Set oFnd1  = oRange.Find("Title1", , , xlPart)
WScript.Echo TypeName(oFnd1), CStr(oFnd1)
Dim oFnd2  : Set oFnd2  = oRange.Find("Title1", , , xlWhole)
WScript.Echo TypeName(oFnd2), CStr(oFnd2)

oWBook.Close
oExcel.Quit

exit:

cscript excelfind.vbs
Range Title10
Range Title1
