Trim Full Path To Filename Only
Jan 31, 2008
I have path data (subfolder depth varies) that I need to trim to filename only.
Example:
/folder1/folder2/filename1.eps
/folder1/folder2/folder3/filename2.eps
/folder1/folder2/folder3/folder4/filename3.eps
Need to end up with:
filename1.eps
filename2.eps
filename3.eps

I have the following code and I it works except it gives the full file path rather than just the name of the file.
I have been racking my brain for ages to try and figure how to just get the filename to show but I have been unsuccessful.
Code:
Private Sub CheckBox1_Click()
Range("K43").Select
' Set up list of file filters
[Code].....

I have a variable ("DestFile") that defines a path to a file (used in saving the file)...
I'm in the process of getting a Sub to hyperlink to this file, but in some circumstances, I may only want to hyperlink to the folder, not the actual file...
How would I go about trimming the "DestFile" address to get a "DestFldr" address?...
An example of "DestFile" might be;
S:BryanFor KenGulf ConstructionST0609014-t.xls
(the file name length may vary)
What code can I use to consistently trim it back to;
S:BryanFor KenGulf Construction
as the "DestFldr" variable?

I'm really looking for a way to get the full address of the external file by specifying the file name in a cell and then evaluate the formula. For example,
[Code] .....
is the full address of the source file called 'Source'. My idea is: if I just type the file name 'Source' in a workbook's cell $A$1, and in cell $B$1 I want to make the formula something like:
="C:Users["&$A$1&".xlsx]Sheet1'!$F$1"
This will make my project very impressive with this feature: a user just types the file name to establish the link and evaluate the formula for results.

I'm wondering what is the syntax to open a msoFileDialog box and select a file, resulting in setting a variable to the entire file path. If I use
msoFileDialogFilePicker
I'll only get the file name, without the path. I'd like to get the full path ending in the file name.

The folder which contains the Excel file I'm working on is
C:Usersar3DocumentsKey Performance Indicators
however if I place =INFO("directory") in a cell I get
C:Usersar3Documents
Is there a function where I can get the full path of the workbook in the cell?

I would like the full path in the excel 2007 title bar automatically every time I open a excel file.
The macros I try from other sources all end up in errors. I need step by step instructions.

I have a problem with paths and filenames with spaces.
If the the excel file containing the macro file is opened from explorer rather than from within excel, the path is incorrect. Therefore I use the following
Dim varPath As String
varPath = ThisWorkbook.Path
ChDir varPath
I can then later call either varPath or the VBA GetCurDir and it will be correctly set.
However, when I call a Shell function as in the example:
Dim varPath As String
Dim fPath As String
varPath = ThisWorkbook.Path
ChDir varPath
fPath = varPath & " emp"
MsgBox fPath & "test.bat"
Shell fPath & "test.bat"
I get the message box: e:local data tables emp est.bat
I get the error: Runtime Error 5, Invalid procedure call or argument.
Without having to rename the path structure so that it doesn't have spaces (which isn't always possible), how can I get this to work?

What I need is a formula to search entire column B and get the file names which is having that string and also the corresponding path
Table E6 to F9 contains the desired result (The result wont be more than 3 at any point of time

I do a search on my directory for all *.xls files each month which produces a list some 11,000+ lines long. Attached is a very small sample.
I then import this into Excel – see tab Raw Data
What I want to produce is a list shown on tab Finished Data, so that I can then sort etc.
Has someone already done this before and got the code, or can someone point me in the right direction on how to arrive at the finished data?

Private Sub cmdImport_Click()
Dim exportFile As String
exportFile = "c:jpmimportTrinity_ImpImport_" & Format( Date, "dd-mm-yy") + "_" + Format(Time, "hh:mm:ss") & ".csv"
Open exportFile For Output As #1
I put a watch on exportFile and it's correctly set to: "c:jpmimportTrinity_ImpImport_15-02-07_17:55:01.csv"
However if I try to run this I get "bad file name or numer" when I open for output - the path exists and I can write to it, so must have a fundamentally wrong approach.

I am trying to allow users to select a file, and then the file name/ the file path / and date are added.
Right now, all those functions work in the following code, but the file path shows up as a letter drive. As there could be upwards of 50 people using this file and the mapped drive could be different, i wanted the full path to be displayed.
Code:
Private Sub File_1_overwrite_Click()
Dim filename As Variant
Dim filename1 As Variant
filename = Application.GetOpenFilename(, , "Select Programme")
filename1 = filename
filename1 = Mid(filename, InStrRev(filename, "") + 1)
File_1_link = filename
file_1_name = filename1
File_1_date = Format(Date, "MM/DD/YY")

I have a list of files in column A:
/folder/subfolder1/subfolder2/subfolder3/file1.txt
/folder/subfolder1/subfolder2/file2.txt
/folder/subfolder1/file3.txt
/folder/file4.txt
in column B I would like to see just the filenames:
file1.txt
file2.txt
file3.txt
file4.txt
How can I achieve this? On the internet I found this forumule which looks promising but unfortunately finds the first slash (instead of the last) and prints what's to the right of that slash:
=RIGHT(C2; LEN(C2) - SEARCH("/";C2))

My Excel 2010 spreadsheet contains client data like the below:
A
B
C
D
E
What I'm trying to get from this is a personally addressed email with 2 attachments, one will be standard to all recipients and one will be unique and specific to that recipient. The filename of the unique attachment will contain the reference but will have some other stuff in the filename as well on either side that I will not be able to remove.
In terms of the file locations the unique ones will be in subfolders of the folder holding this workbook and the generic one will be in the same folder as the this workbook.This is some adapted code that solved a similar problem (in Excel 2007 though) on a different website.
VB:
Sub Mail_Report()
Dim OutApp As Object
Dim OutMail As Object [code]....
In that case the file started with the "reference" field but in my case it is in the middle and the formats vary depending on the provider, there will only be a maximum of 5 providers but I would like to avoid 5 different macros if at all possible so I need a search function of some sort.

I have come up with this to Trim all of the data from rows 2:30 removing any trailing spaces after the last word in each cell. The macro takes a couple of minutes to run have I got something wrong that is making it run slowly or does the Trim process just take longer?
Sub TRIM_RANGE()
Dim myRange As Range
Dim myRow As Range
Sheets("CAMPAIGNS_2007").Select
Set myRange = Range("2:30")
If myRange Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
myRange.Replace What:=Chr(160), Replacement:=Chr(32), _
LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False
For Each myRow In myRange.Columns
If Application. CountA(myRow) > 0 Then
myRow.TextToColumns Destination:=myRow(1), _
DataType:=xlFixedWidth, FieldInfo:=Array(0, 1)
End If
Next myRow
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

I am using an XY scatter chart that displays the planned path and an actual path as I go. The planned path is set up in 100' increments and goes 12000' and actual path varies along the way.
My data that I use is the Northing (ft), Easting (ft) and Vertical Section (ft) for both the planned path and actual path.
I was wondering if there was an east way to get that information from the chart or if there is a formula that would allow me to calculate distance between the two points by using the data I use for my chart.

i'm having problems doing this.
Tried =MID(A1,FIND(":",A1)+4,25)
but obviously get extra text other than team name.

I want to create a macro that will allow me to highlight a column and have the macro Trim every cell with text in the column, preferably putting the results over the original text. The column in question has text in every cell, until the column ends.
(That is, there are no numbers and no blanks until the data ends altogether.) I do not want to remove internal spaces in the text, just the leading and trailing ones.
I am sure this is fairly simple, but I'm not sure how to get it to look at every cell and then terminate properly.

I have a small Excel VBA program that pulls data from our company database. I use this to collect information about orders that have been placed. The decriptions of our inventory within our accounting software usually go something like this: [
2/24] Small Red Rose
The [2/24] stands for 24 pieces per case and 2 pieces per inner pack.
My question is... can I trim off the text '[2/24]' within VBA?
I need to create quotes, labels and other things that use these descriptions and don't need to include the information with the brackets.
Obviously within VBA everything is done with variables, such as strDESC for the description.

I am trying to make a simple quiz on a spreadsheet which will provide the score immediately the player has finished. Basically a row is as follows:
C5= Question; D5 = player's input answer, E5 = check answer and give score
For example:
in C5 "What colour is a banana?"
The player inputs the answer to D5: yellow
in E5, the answer is tested by a formula and score is given. For this I have a formula IF(D5="yellow",1,0) hence E5 returns either 1 or 0.
Now my problem: If the player inputs one or more spaces, I need to use the TRIM function as well otherwise the answer will be incorrect. How can I work the TRIM with the IF formula?
A thought has just occurred to me that I might have to firstly Copy and TRIM the answer in to E5 and then have the IF condition in F5, but that needs another column and seems a longer way around.
