To FIND The Filename In A Path
Dec 20, 2007I'm trying to FIND the filename in a path such as:
F:userdjleeCSCAV Remarks.png
My path is different for each record.
I tried =RIGHT(C1,FIND("",C1)), but it does not recognize the "".

Find Filename In Path Regardless Of Number Of Subfolders
Jan 29, 2014I 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))
Spaces In Path And Filename
May 9, 2006I 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?
Define Path & Filename As Variable
Feb 16, 2007Private 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.

Get Filename And Path Of Workbook The Macro Is Running In

View 4 Replies View RelatedFind Filename In Folder
Apr 10, 2007I have created a separate SAVE button that when the user hits that button, it saves the file in a network drive using the current date as part of the save-file name. Ie: Sheet20070408.xls, Sheet20070409.xls, Sheet20070410.xls, and Sheet20070411.xls.
I am currently working out all the "idiot proof" safety features. My code looks something like this:
oldfilename = ActiveWorkbook.FullName
newfilename = "C:NetworkFolder" & format(date, "yyyymmdd") & ".xls"
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=newfilename
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=oldfilename
Why am I saving it twice? When the user clicks SAVE, I want to save over the copy of the current sheet they use, even if they save it on their desktop, and then save it to the network drive. This way, if they keep a second copy in an easy to find location, it will save the data to that sheet as well. Just in case they forget to save on the current sheet. I need to be sure each copy of the file has the most up-to-date information, as well as save a copy for retention.
My question is this: Can I search a folder for an existing file name? If the user goes into the network drive to open an old file for retention and they click SAVE, I don't want to accidentally overwrite a file in the retention folder.
Find Path With Only Having Folder Name
Apr 11, 2012Is there a way to find a folders path? I have a folder Dropbox
I want to find the path up to this folder on the current computer. Is there a method to accomplish this?
I am fine if you want to give VBA code so I can put it in my immediate window for now and then I can attempt to add it to existing code later.
So an Example of the possible result would be
Directory is C:MyNameUserDropbox
Or on another computer maybe C:User1ListingFilesDropbox
Find File Path To USB Drive
Jun 12, 2009I have a file which is kept on the C Drive. Each day, a different excel file is downloaded to a usb memory stick. The first file reads data from this file. The problem is, the drive letter keeps changing from E to F and the macro then crashes out.
The file on the memory stick always has the same name, so is there a macro to find the drive letter of this file and then use it in my existing macro?
Find Path To Template That A Workbook Is Based On
Aug 18, 2006If you have a workbook or a template open you can find out the full path of the file from the .FullPath property. My problem is that when a user double-clicks my .xlt file (to create a new workbook based on it), I want the code in the Workbook_Open event to be able to tell the full path of the template it was created from (because the code will later go on to save the new workbook under a date related filename in the same directory that the template was located in). I haven't been able to find a property that gives me any clue as to the location of the template this new workbook is based on.

Find A File And Present Its Location (Path) In A MsgBox
Jun 5, 2006I am looking for a VBA Code which will:
1. Search for a specific File.
The file will the same file (ABC.xls) BUT the user might want to change it by typing a new name & Extension in the first Inputbox.
2. A second InputBox (Drive & Path) should now Pop-up.
If it will be left empty - the search should take place throughout ALL the installed HDs.
If the user decides to minimize the search range he/she will type a Drive & Path, the search should reduce/constrain itself to the specific Path ONLY.
My task is to show its Path location in a MsgBox (or to show "file not found")
It might be a good idea if the code can be extended beyond presenting the Path to:
1. Open the Windows "Explorer" (or "My Computer") in the specific Path with the file being selected (marked).
2. Opening that file, in "Excel", upon finding it.
A 3 section, VBA, code will be more than appreciated.

Plan Path And Actual Path Distance Calculation?
Feb 11, 2014I 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 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;

What code can I use to consistently trim it back to;

View 3 Replies View RelatedExtract Date From Filename For New Tab
May 9, 2014Every week we produce a report that has the filename: Master_BER_Pending Revokes Report_YYYY-MM-DD.xlsm
Some of the information from this workbook needs to be pasted into a new tab on a different workbook. The new tabs naming convention is simply "DD MM". Currently I've got a command prop that asks the user to enter it in manually. See below
VB:
Dim newsh As String
newsh = InputBox(Prompt:="Enter new tab name", Title:="Tab Name", Default:="e.g. '05 05'")
Sheets.Add After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)
Sheets(Sheets.Count).Select
ActiveSheet.Name = newsh
The user gets the information for the month and day from the filename of the report that was produced. What I need is the DD and MM to be extracted from the filename and used to name the new sheet.
