Hey friends,

I need help in order to write a VBA code much shorter and in a smart way.

I want to delete files located at specific folder, all the files except of pdf files.

The problem is that there are 8 extensions variations for the name "pdf" files

pdf, Pdf, PDf, pDF,pdF,PDF,pDf,PdF

In other words, for every file in the chosen folder the code make 8 checks:



VBA Code:
Sub Delete_Files_Not_Pdf()

'   Enter file path to delete files from

    myFolderName = "C:\Atricles\"
    myFileName = Dir(myFolderName & "*.*")
    
'   Delete all files without an pdf extension

    Do While myFileName <> ""
        If Right(myFileName, 3) <> "pdf" And Right(myFileName, 3) <> "Pdf" And Right(myFileName, 3) <> "PDf" And Right(myFileName, 3) <> "pDF" And Right(myFileName, 3) <> "pdF" And Right(myFileName, 3) <> "PDF" And  Right(myFileName, 3) <> "pDf" And Right(myFileName, 3) <> "PdF" Then Kill myFolderName & myFileName
        myFileName = Dir
    Loop

End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
Hi
Try
VBA Code:
 Do While myFileName <> ""
        If LCase(Right(myFileName, 3)) <> "pdf" Then Kill myFolderName & myFileName
        myFileName = Dir
    Loop
