I have a string which will contain strings of varying lengths which contain
the path to a file. For example: P:\firstfolder\secondfolder\thirdfolder\fourthfold er\fifthfolder\filename The root of the path for this example is P:\firstfolder\secondfolder\ In reality the folder names are all varying lengths. The code loops through all folders in a specific root to find a filetype. It presently puts the path after the root in one column and the filename in the next. The filename column contains hyperlinks by adding the root, path and file together. I want the path to be split so that the third folder is put in Column A, the remaining path is put in the Column B and the filename in Column C. I want to alter the existing code to do this. I want to use Mid(String,Start,Length) to find the Length of the string for the first folder in the path after the root (thirdfolder) and before fourth folder. Does anyone know the syntax I should use? Or, is there an easier alternative? DDAwson Scotland |
