I am looking to do a search and replace for some code in all the codeModules
in my VBA Macro program. I am trying to do an automated program that
searches for and finds the Excel Workbooks, finds what modules are each
Workbook, and then replaces code. So it would replace XLFit3_ with XLFit4,
but I am not exactly sure how to modify code in modules using the search and
replace function. Anybody's help is more than welcome and thankfully
appreciated. Here is what I have so far. What it does so far is open up the
files that are already there, and loops until there are no more files, but I
don't know how to change the code on the back end of these files. See below
for code. Please don't point me to http://www.cpearson.com's website, I've
been there already and is very informative, but I couldn't find anything
exactly like this. Thanks for your help ahead of time.

Sub FileSearchforMacros()

Dim wkbkOne As Workbook

.LookIn = "\\RTTMSGFP141\smithb25$\Desktop\testvba"
.SearchSubFolders = True
.FileType = msoFileTypeExcelWorkbooks

MsgBox "There were " & .FoundFiles.Count & _

Brett,

Try the macro FileSearchforMacros2 below, which calls the macro ReplaceCodeInModule for each file.

How would I approach that in my code. Write Subs as opposed to the one?

Just modify the Replace.. sub to accept two more parameters and then call
it repeatedly from your main sub.


Sub ReplaceCodeInModule(RepWK As Workbook, StringCurrent as string,
StringNew as string)
Dim myCode As String
Dim myFStr As String
Dim myRStr As String
Dim myMod As VBComponent

'myFStr = "FRTP_1" 'use StringCurrent
' myRStr = "FRTP_2" 'use StringNew

'... etc


Call as:

ReplaceCodeInModule wkbkOne, "findthis", "replacewith"
ReplaceCodeInModule wkbkOne, "findthis2", "replacewith2"
ReplaceCodeInModule wkbkOne, "findthis3", "replacewith3"

If you need more help then you can contact me directly.

Hi Bernie,
It seems to work except FString4_, Fstring5_ and FString_6 I don't think was
changed when I ran the program. is there any reason for this? How would I
fix this problem? Thanks!

Brett,

Try replacing ReplaceCodeInModule with the sub below.

Sub ReplaceCodeInModule(RepWK As Workbook)
Dim myCode As String
Dim myFStr As Variant
Dim myRStr As Variant
Dim myMod As VBComponent
Dim i As Integer

myFStr = Array( "FString_1","FString_2","FString_3","FString_4","F String_5","FString_6")
myrStr = Array( "RString_1","RString_2","RString_3","RString_4","R String_5","RString_6")

For Each myMod In RepWK.VBProject.VBComponents
With myMod.CodeModule

If .CountOfLines 0 Then
myCode = .Lines(1, .CountOfLines)
For i = LBound(myFStr) to UBound(myFStr) Then
myCode = Replace(myCode, myFStr(i), myRStr(i))
Next i
..DeleteLines 1, .CountOfLines
..InsertLines .CountOfLines + 1, myCode
End If
End If
End With
Next myMod
End Sub

Bernie,
What if I have 6 text strings that I want to change as opposed to just 1?
How would I approach that in my code. Write Subs as opposed to the one?

Thank you so very much for the help you have given me. This will get me off
to a good start I'm sure. You have been a HUGE help. I may have more
questions later if you don't mind.

Try the macro FileSearchforMacros2 below, which calls the macro ReplaceCodeInModule for each
file.

I am looking to do a search and replace for some code in all the codeModules
in my VBA Macro program. I am trying to do an automated program that
searches for and finds the Excel Workbooks, finds what modules are each
Workbook, and then replaces code. So it would replace XLFit3_ with XLFit4,
but I am not exactly sure how to modify code in modules using the search and
replace function. Anybody's help is more than welcome and thankfully
appreciated. Here is what I have so far. What it does so far is open up the
files that are already there, and loops until there are no more files, but I
don't know how to change the code on the back end of these files. See below
for code. Please don't point me to http://www.cpearson.com's website, I've
