running windows system commands in VBA
Hi,
does anyone know whether it's possible and how (if so) to run Windows system commands in VBA? What I want to do is run "dir *.xls /s/w/b dir.txt" command and use the list of files created by this command. The same result (and it'd be even more useful for me) I'd achieve if I could use some command or function enabling me to run through file system on a PC searching for *.xls files. I need something like FindFirst and FindNext known in Pascal or C, or Delphi, or other programming languages, something what'd give me names of excel files stored on HDD in different subdirectories together with their full path. I don't ask for a complete code, just name commands I could use, please. Thanks a lot in advance! Tomek |
