Scan a Directory
 

Hi!
I'd like to scan a directory and report all files present in it in a
list box.
I use this code (found on this wonderful site) but if I launch this
macro excel goes in crash.
Could you help me, please?

With Application.FileSearch
..NewSearch
..LookIn = "c:\data\h3g"
..Filename = "*.*"
..SearchSubFolders = IncludeSubFolder
..FileType = msoFileTypeAllFiles
If .Execute(SortBy:=msoSortByFileName, _
SortOrder:=msoSortOrderAscending) = 0 Then Exit Sub
For FileCount = 1 To .FoundFiles.Count
lb_Dash.AddItem (.FoundFiles(FileCount))
Next FileCount
..FileType = msoFileTypeExcelWorkbooks ' reset filetypes
End With

Scan a Directory
 

Here's piece of code I use;

Dim FN As String ' For File Name
Dim ThisRow As Long
Dim FileLocation As String
FileLocation = "c:\data\h3g"
FN = Dir(FileLocation)
Do Until FN = ""
ListBox2.AddItem FN
FN = Dir
Loop

Looks like you're missing lots of items beginning with ".", like:
..NewSearch
..Lookin=...
..Filename=...
, etc

Scan a Directory
 

Try:

With Application.FileSearch
.LookIn = "C:\My Documents"
.Filename = "*"
If .Execute 0 Then
For x = 1 To .FoundFiles.Count
tFilename = .FoundFiles(x)
Lb_Dash.AddItem (tFilename)
Next x
Else
MsgBox "No Files"
End If
End With

Hi

I'll copy some my UDF's here - I think they can give you some ideas (the
optional parameter MyTime allows to use UDF's as volatile)

----
Public Function GetSubfolder(MyFolder As String, FolderNum As Integer,
Optional MyTime As Date)
Dim fs, f, f1, s, sf
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f = fs.GetFolder(MyFolder)
Set sf = f.SubFolders
i = 0
For Each f1 In sf
i = i + 1
If i = FolderNum Then GetSubfolder = f1.Name
Next
End Function

Public Function GetFileName(MyFolder As String, FileNum As Integer,
MyExtension As String, Optional MyTime As Date)
Dim fs, f, f1, fc, s
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f = fs.GetFolder(MyFolder)
Set fc = f.Files
i = 0
For Each f1 In fc
If Right(f1.Name, 3) = MyExtension Then
i = i + 1
If i = FileNum Then GetFileName = f1.Name
End If
Next
End Function


Public Function GetThisFolder(Optional MyTime As Date)
GetThisFolder = ThisWorkbook.Path
End Function
