![]() Hi, I was wondering if anyone can help? A while ago someone was very helpful in answering a question for me on here. I needed a macro which looked at the file names in column A and changed them to the corresponding file name in column b. The macro is a bit temperamental and now doesn't really seem to work at all. I think its something to do with the way the names in column b are presented i.e. using certain numbers or letters seems to mess it up. (the problem is that excel claims the file name already exists after changing about 10-15 names) The code is below, if anyone has any idea on this it would be a great help. I've put example file names below the code. many thanks. Sub RenameMyData() Dim oFSO As Object Dim oFolder As Object Dim oFile As Object Dim c As Range Dim sOld As String, sNew As String, sExt As String Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set oFolder = oFSO.GetFolder("C:\TOCS\") For Each oFile In oFolder.Files sOld = Left(oFile.Name, InStr(1, oFile.Name, ".") - 1) sExt = Right(oFile.Name, Len(oFile.Name) - InStr(1, oFile.Name, ".")) On Error Resume Next Set c = Cells.Find(what:=sOld, LookIn:=xlValues) On Error GoTo 0 If Not c Is Nothing Then oFile.Name = c.Offset(0, 1).Value & "." & sExt End If Next Eg File Name: COL A [/b] [b] COL B NewLink LS03101 Pevion LS03102 Interpharm LS03103 -- saybut ------------------------------------------------------------------------ saybut's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...fo&userid=5949 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=514423 |
