I need to create a text string from a variable length file name by removing
the .xls from the end of the file name. It would be easy if the file
names
were a fixed length, but they are not. Is there another easy way?
Hi Mitch,
Here's one way to do it:
Dim szFilename As String
Dim szNameOnly As String
szFilename = "My File Name.xls"
szNameOnly = Left$(szFilename, Len(szFilename) - 4)
