Unzip Then Delete Or Overwrite Files

Aug 21, 2010

I've struggled to find the code to unzip files using VBA but I finally found it and it works (using Shell).

The problem is that I want to unzip all zip files in a folder but my zip files contain 3 files:

1 csv file that I want to keep and 1 xml and 1 txt file that I want to delete.

I can't just unzip everything and deal with the txt and xml later because the xml and txt files all have the same name. So if I don't do anything, I have a series of overwriting messages prompting me to click yes or no. So what I want is either to delete xml and txt one by one after they are created or get rid of the overwriting prompt. I've tried to put a kill or delete file just after the unzip command but it doesn't work - it's telling me that the txt file doesn't exist (should I add some sort of refreshing command ?) and I couldn't find anything on google about overwriting text or xml files.

Zip Unzip Files Without 3rd Party Zip Program

Dec 7, 2007

Does anyone have a way to make Excel Zip and/or Unzip Files using only Windows Native Functionality?

I know I can use command line zip utilities like Winzip or Winrar. But I'm trying to make some scripts that will be shared among other users, and would like to NOT require users to install extra software to make it work.

I know windows has the built in capability to zip unzip files through the windows GUI, so there must be a way to do it with command lines from VBA code...

P.S. At the moment I am mostly concerned with UNzipping.

VBA Automate Unzip With SecureZip

Aug 4, 2012

I'm trying to automate unzipping many .gz files on a monthly basis. Previously I used a macro a coworker wrote to do the unzipping using winzip (think he may have used some code snippets from this forum for it - seems like several sites have similar code shown in different postings). But now my office has switched over to pkware's SecureZIP, I can no longer use winzip, and my coworker has moved on. Can I manipulate that old code to work with SecureZIP somehow?

Unzip File Automatically Without Search?

Aug 8, 2014

I have a macro that saves zip files automatically from outlook every day and saves over those zip files (which I want). But now I need to unzip those files and save their csv files in a different folder. I will be saving over the same csv files everyday.

(I have 5 zip files saved and named and each file contains just 1 csv file)

I have had a look at Ron de Bruin's code but he requires you to open the and search for the zip file. I would like this to unzip and save automatically without having to use "Application.Getopen".

Search Folder For Files Containing "Temp", Delete Files

Jun 26, 2008

Is there a code that will search a pre-determined folder for all .xls files containing the word "Temp", and deleting those files?

Example:
In the root of drive M, I have several Excel files. Anytime one of the original tracking logs is opened, a temp file of that log is automatically created. I would like to automatically search the drive and delete all files containin the word "Temp".

I've attached a picture of the directory tree, in case that will help. The file will always be named "PO Response Tracking - Temp#######.xls", with ###### representing a series of either 5 or 6 numbers.

Delete Files In Range

Oct 19, 2009

I use some VBA that does many things and in the end it exports the files to a network drive and as a last step, it creates a Log, the log is basically one row for each file exported which includes the path and file, something like this:

Row 1: Headers...
Row 2: \networkpath odrivefolderDocument_file_name.xls
Row 3: \networkpath odrivefolderDocument_file_name2.xls
Row 4: \networkpath odrivefolderDocument_file_name3.xls

So, basically looking for a way to start at row 2 to end, and delete the files. Looking for a way to also maybe save/and archive them on my local Desktop on XP ?

Delete Modules From Multiple Files

Dec 6, 2006

I have several organized folders which contain contain, in total, hundreads of files all created from the same master file. The Master file contains several macros used to sort and organize data copied from our engineering database (web-based).

After a file is created the macro is no longer needed. I am looking for some direction on how to go about opening and saving the files which are located on a network drive.

I have found some good starting point here for the actual removal, and I am working on a new master file which doesn't keep the macro when saved (save as...).

When I run a webquery to download information from online I have found the common 1004 error to occur very often however I have found that if I delete my temporary internet files prior to running the webquery, this problem does not occur. I therefore require an automated function to delete the temporary internet files however the simple 'Kill' statement does not seem to work.

Delete Temp Files Located On FileSever Via VBA

Aug 22, 2006

Right now the security settings on my server are set so that new files can be added by anyone but only a few people can delete them. Everytime Excel opens a file on the server it creates a temp file that it cannot delete due to the security settings. This means that I have to go in to each subdirectory and manually select then delete each of these temp files.

way to identify an excel tempfile, or a method for deleting these files with VBA?

How To Overwrite An Existing Row

Apr 9, 2008

I was trying to use Sheet1 (data input sheet) to collect 33 values and write them to Sheet2 as a row. I wanted the user to be able to make changes/corrections. So if the set of data with same date and shift number is entered for a second time, my macro should be able to over-write the existing row in Sheet2. Have been digging for days yet with no avail.

I'm using Win XP pro and Excel 2003.

Protected Formulas Overwrite

Feb 8, 2008

Just wondering if it is possible to have a formula in a cell but over write it with other digits while preserving the underlying formula?

I can lock the sheet/workbook but cant edit the cells once this is done?

I'm hoping to be able to delete what ever I have overwritten and for the formula to then take effect again.

Circumvent Overwrite Data Alerts

I've just written a bit of looping vba script that generates an overwrite alert (i.e. "Output range will overwrite existing data. Press OK to overwrite..."). This is fine and was purposely built into the script, but I want to be able to automatically ignore these alerts and loop through the script unhindered.

Coding To Overwrite Worksheet Data

Apr 18, 2012

I would like to code a Userform Command button to save data by overwriting a specific row of data. The specific row is to be based on data matching in column A and column B. I'll give an example

Worksheet = "Failures"

Row 1 - Column A - Column B - Value
Row 2 - 12/3/2012 - FOX ------ 23
Row 3 - 12/3/2012 - CEF ------ 24
Row 4 - 12/3/2012 - COT ------ 23
Row 5 - 13/3/2012 - FOX ------ 56
Row 6 - 13/3/2012 - COT ------ 23
Row 7 - 14/3/2012 - FOX ------ 26

I would like the code that would search for the specific row (e.g Row 5 discovered by searching for 13/3/2012 and FOX) in the "Failures" Worksheet and then overwrite it with the following data values from a Userform called "QC"

(TextBox1) (TextBox2) (TextBox3)
13/3/2012 --- FOX -------- 24
