Modifying Data inside an array
Hello People, THANK YOU for everyones help. Here is my question tonight: I have an array with a bunch of filenames in them, I want to modify the file names to get rid of the extension ".gif". FOR I = 1 TO .FOUNDFILES.COUNT SCANMAPS(I, 1) = DIR(.FOUNDFILES.ITEM(I)) NEXT I If it was in a Column I would do this: Columns("A:A").Select Selection.Replace What:=".GIF", Replacement:="", LookAt:=xlPart, _ SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False How can I change the array without having to paste it in a row modify it and put it back into the array? Thank You in adavance -- icdoo ------------------------------------------------------------------------ icdoo's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=27342 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=501422 |

Modifying Data inside an array
Just a typo alert:
SCANMAPS(I, 1) = Replace(DIR(.FOUNDFILES.ITEM(I)),.Gif,"") becomes SCANMAPS(I, 1) = Replace(DIR(.FOUNDFILES.ITEM(I)),".Gif","") But after further review <bg, I think I'd use: SCANMAPS(I, 1) = Replace(DIR(.FOUNDFILES.ITEM(I)),".Gif","",1,-1,vbTextCompare) or SCANMAPS(I, 1) = Replace(ucase(DIR(.FOUNDFILES.ITEM(I))),".GIF","") (Replace is case sensitive unless it's told not to be.)

Modifying Data inside an array
Excellent catch, Dave. Slightly slower (probably unnoticeable) and
available in all versions without the need for extra arguments SCANMAPS(I, 1) = Application.Substitute(DIR(.FOUNDFILES.ITEM(I)),".

Modifying Data inside an array
Thanks for the help, here is what I came up with, requires an extr variable and it assumes you want to get rid off all the extensions (Lucky thats what I needed): Dim Scanmaplength as Interger Scanmaplength = Len(Scanmaps(I, 1)) - 4 Scanmaps(I, 1) = Left(Scanmaps(I, 1), Scanmaplength -- icdo ----------------------------------------------------------------------- icdoo's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...fo&userid=2734 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread.php?threadid=50142 |

Modifying Data inside an array
It doesn't really require the extra variable
Scanmaps(I,1) = Left(Scanmaps(I, 1),len(Scanmaps(I,1))-4) but it does assume you want to get rid of all extensions and that all the files have a 3 character extension -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "icdoo" wrote in message ...
