Question : Excel VBA Select All File Types From a Specified Folder
Hey all,
So far, I have a program that selects all files from a specified folder (See attached). I can easily store all of these files into an array obviously. However, I would like to grab all of those files and somehow group similarly named ones together, or somehow distinguish how many types of files I have (Not by the extension, but by the name itself).
For example:
excel_daily_ext_0502.txt
excel_daily_ext_0503.txt
excel_daily_ext_0504.txt
return_time_stl_handle.050
2.txt
return_time_phl_handle.050
2.txt
return_time_min_handle.050
2.txt
return_time_stl_handle.050
3.txt
return_time_phl_handle.050
3.txt
return_time_min_handle.050
3.txt
return_time_stl_handle.050
4.txt
return_time_phl_handle.050
4.txt
return_time_min_handle.050
4.txt
happy_days_stl_0502.txt
happy_days_stl_0503.txt
happy_days_stl_0504.txt
would return 3 different types of files. The stl, phl, min do not matter. These file types would obviously be:
excel_daily_ext, return_time (or return_time_handle), and happy_days.
Lastly, most of my files are .txt extensions, but some are not. You can set a filter in the code that I have. I would prefer that these files be stored in an array, but also somehow grouped by file type? I just don't know of a good way to do this right now.. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Rob

Those files are just cab files with a different extension... so rename to cab.
