Files in a directory?

Is there anyway to have excel list files in a dirctory?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Greg

Here's a set of code that does it. Paste in a standard module:

Option Explicit

Enum BrowseForFolderFlags

BIF_STATUSTEXT = &H4

BIF_RETURNFSANCESTORS = &H8
End Enum

Private Type BrowseInfo
hwndOwner As Long
pIDLRoot As Long

Private Declare Function SHGetPathFromIDList Lib _
"shell32" (ByVal pidList As Long, _
ByVal lpBuffer As String) As Long

Private Declare Function lstrcat Lib "kernel32" _
Alias "lstrcatA" (ByVal lpString1 As String, _
ByVal lpString2 As String) As Long
Dim Writerow As Long

Public Function BrowseForFolder(hWnd As Long, _
Optional Title As String, _
Optional Flags As BrowseForFolderFlags) As String

Dim iNull As Integer
Dim IDList As Long
Dim Result As Long
Dim Path As String
Dim bi As BrowseInfo

If Flags = 0 Then Flags = BIF_RETURNONLYFSDIRS
With bi
.lpszTitle = lstrcat(Title, "")
.ulFlags = Flags
End With

IDList = SHBrowseForFolder(bi)
If IDList Then
Path = String$(300, 0)
Result = SHGetPathFromIDList(IDList, Path)
iNull = InStr(Path, vbNullChar)
If iNull Then Path = Left$(Path, iNull - 1)
End If
BrowseForFolder = Path
End Function

Sub ListMyFiles()
Dim DirToSearch As String
Dim WithSubFolders As Boolean
Writerow = ActiveSheet.Cells(65000, 1).End(xlUp).Row + 1
DirToSearch = BrowseForFolder(858, _
"Choose a folder:", BIF_DONTGOBELOWDOMAIN)
If DirToSearch < "" Then
WithSubFolders = (MsgBox("Include subfolders ?", _
vbYesNo + vbQuestion, "Files in " & DirToSearch) = vbYes)
GetFilesInDirectory DirToSearch
If WithSubFolders Then LookForDirectories (DirToSearch)
End If
End Sub

Sub LookForDirectories(ByVal DirToSearch As String)
Dim counter As Integer
Dim i As Integer
Dim Directories() As String
Dim Contents As String

counter = 0
DirToSearch = DirToSearch & "\"
Contents = Dir(DirToSearch, vbDirectory)
Do While Contents < ""
If Contents < "." And Contents < ".." Then
If (GetAttr(DirToSearch & Contents) And _
vbDirectory) = vbDirectory Then
counter% = counter% + 1
ReDim Preserve Directories(counter)
Directories(counter) = DirToSearch & Contents
End If
End If
Contents = Dir
Loop
If counter = 0 Then Exit Sub
For i = 1 To counter
GetFilesInDirectory Directories(i)
LookForDirectories Directories(i)
Next i
End Sub

Sub GetFilesInDirectory(ByVal DirToSearch As String)
Dim NextFile As String
On Error Resume Next
With ActiveSheet
NextFile = Dir(DirToSearch & "\" & "*.*")
Do Until NextFile = ""
.Cells(Writerow, 1) = DirToSearch & "\"
.Cells(Writerow, 2) = NextFile
.Cells(Writerow, 3) = FileDateTime(DirToSearch & _
"\" & NextFile)
.Cells(Writerow, 4) = Format(FileLen(DirToSearch & _
"\" & NextFile) / 1024, "# ##0 Kb")
Writerow = Writerow + 1
NextFile = Dir()
Loop
End With
End Sub

Greg

Here are a couple you might try

Sub GetFileList()
Dim iCtr As Integer
With Application.FileSearch
.NewSearch
.LookIn = "c:\aa"
.SearchSubFolders = True
.Filename = ".xls"
If .Execute 0 Then
For iCtr = 1 To .FoundFiles.Count
Cells(iCtr, 1).Value = .FoundFiles(iCtr)
Next iCtr
End If
End With
End Sub

Sub FindExcelFiles()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim FN As String ' For File Name
Dim ThisRow As Long
Dim FileLocation As String
FileLocation = "c:\ahorse\*.xls"
FN = Dir(FileLocation)
Do Until FN = ""
ThisRow = ThisRow + 1
Cells(ThisRow, 1) = FN
FN = Dir
Loop
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
