How modify Sub if searching strings are from range G2 down as follow:

G2 head-ache
G3 tooth-ache
G4 malaria
....

and create one Worksheet named with every searching string (illness), so
looping thru G2:Gn ?

Thanks in advance.

Gianni.

A minor change...Hardcoded path replaced with variable..

Sub SearchStringinWord()

Dim wrdApp As Word.Application
Dim wrdDoc As Word.Document
Dim strFolder As String
Dim strFile As String
Dim strSearchString As String
Dim lngRow As Long

Set wrdApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
wrdApp.Visible = False

strFolder = "c:\"
strSearchString = "jacob"
strFile = Dir(strFolder & "*.doc", vbNormal)
Do While strFile < ""

Set wrdDoc = wrdApp.Documents.Open(strFolder & strFile)
If InStr(1, wrdDoc.Range.Text, strSearchString, vbTextCompare) 0 Then
lngRow = lngRow + 1
ActiveSheet.Range("A" & lngRow).Formula = "=HYPERLINK(""" & strFolder &
strFile & """,""" & strFile & """)"
End If
wrdDoc.Close


strFile = Dir
Loop


Set wrdDoc = Nothing
wrdApp.Quit
Set wrdApp = Nothing

End Sub

Hi,

A folder has several word documents. These need to be opened from
Excel and checked for existence of a string. If the string exists, the
name of the file needs to be written in the Excel workbook with a
hyperlink to the word document.

Please help with sample code/pointers.

Thanks in Advance for the help.
