I am setting up an automated system that will open a selected textfile, copy a specified range and paste it into a worksheet. My problem for every file selected there are 2 files with similar names that need to be accessed.
Example: 3L3001-pid.isd and 3l3001-fid.isd
the only difference between the 2 filenames will always be the p and the f in the name.
any ideas?
