Abstracting text from WORD into Excel
Greetings !
I have some (OK, several hundred....) Word documents most of which contain the words "Contract" followed by the Contract number, "Date" followed by the contract date, and "Value" followed by its value. Curiously, I wish to search all the WORD documents in the various folders, and, where they exist, extract those three values and paste them into an Excel spreadsheet, with also the path and name of the files from which they came. Fairly straightforward requirement - but I just don't know where or how to even START ! ..txt files I could do easily..... Any help would be much appreciated. |
