Help to brown to folder and load file name then check if string in filename exist

[sbv1986]

Hi all
I have folder with a lot files like: xxxxxx-yyyyyyyy-zzzzzzzz-wwwww-aa-b-cc with extension: .xlsx .xlx .rpt .doc .docx
Please help me with macro VBA to do that:
1. Brown to folder and get all files full name include extension: .xlsx .xlx .rpt to sheets("data") begin from range ("A2")
2. Split all file name from column(A) to column B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I for each dash "-"

The result like this, I examble 03 row but realyty rows defend on the file name in folder from 200 to 500 files each month:

	A	B	C	D	E	F	G	H	I
1	xxxxx-yyyyyyyy-zzzzzzzz-wwwww-aa-b-cc.xlsx	xxxxxx	yyyyyyyy	zzzzzzzz	wwwwww	aa	b	cc	xlsx
2	xxxxxx-yyyyyyyy-zzzzzzzz-wwwww-aa-b-cc.xls	xxxxxx	yyyyyyyy	zzzzzzzz	wwwwww	aa	b	cc	xls
3	xxxxxx-yyyyyyyy-zzzzzzzz-wwwww-aa-b-cc.rpt	xxxxxx	yyyyyyyy	zzzzzzzz	wwwwww	aa	b	cc	rpt

On the data tab, use text to columns function. Delimiter is dash.

Thanks for your respond but table above in #1 is my result.
All files name i want to get in a folder, not yet in column as you see.

Hi sbv1986,
try this:

Thanks @Sequoyah
Code work but yyyyyyyy or zzzzzzzz or wwwwwwww will lose all character with 0 ahead.
examble yyyyyyyy = 00012345 => the result only have 12345.

So do you have any solution format as text when code run?

 

[Sequoyah]

Hi,
add after the line

 MySheet.Activate

this code:

Columns("A:I").NumberFormat = "@"

Thanks again, code working well.

P/S: This mean value auto format as number so if I want I can change another format as your suggess?

 

[Sequoyah]

You're welcome. Thanks for the feedback.


NumberFormat = "@" sets cell format as text.
