File Listing in a Directory
 
Hi!

Could someone tell me whats wrong with these codes?


Sub FileList()
Dim File As Variant
With Application.FileSearch
.LookIn = "C:\"
.FileType = msoFileTypeAllFiles
.Execute
For Each File In .FoundFiles
MsgBox File
Next File
End With
End Sub

Run Time Error 445 - Object does not support this action!

Thanks

Hi,

This works fine in Excel 2003 so are you using something else. I understand
from other posts Excel 2007 doesn't support Filesearch.

Have a look at this thread.

Works find in 2003..You must be using 2007. Try the below

Sub FileList()
Dim strFile As string
Dim strFolder As string
strFolder = "c:\"

strFile = Dir("c:\*.*", vbNormal)
Do While strFile < ""
MsgBox strFolder & strFile
strFile = Dir
Loop
End Sub

For future questions you might ask... it is always a good idea to mention
the version of Excel you are using.

Thanks for your feedback
A small change.. replaced c:\ with strFolder

Sub FileList()
Dim strFile As string
Dim strFolder As string
strFolder = "c:\"

strFile = Dir(strFolder & "*.*", vbNormal)
Do While strFile < ""
MsgBox strFolder & strFile
strFile = Dir
Loop

Dear Rick

I am sorry. When replying it did not occur I was going to annoy senior
Programmers. I am very sorry. For future questions I will clearly state the
Excel version.

It is not that you annoyed anyone... its just that it makes it easier for us
to be able to give you a timely answer that you can actually use (as you can
see from this question of yours... it can make a difference which version of
Excel you are using).

Hi Gary

For a full check up of files in any particular directory first I would
adjust (16 for vb normal and listing for box messaging) and run the above
codes and then would use len and mid fuctions to siphon out the sub
directories and then run the above codes for each sub directory.

I will do it on 16th evening (UK) and load it on 17th. If there is a better
way please give a clue.


Kind Regards

File and Sub Folder List
 
Hi Gary

I wrote some codes (given below) for listing sub folders and files in a
Folder. It can be expanded to several levels. I stoped with the first level
sub folder. However it has a few problems like not reading certain sub folder
- If I expand C:\ and then try to expand the sub folders it does not work but
it expands all subfolders in Documents.

Surely there must be a better way. If you know please show me how to do it.

File and Sub Folder List
 

You should use recursion to handle the subfolder and their subfolders,
etc. Recursion is a technique in which a function calls itself as
need. In the code below, the DoFolder function calls itself for each
subfolder of the input folder. It continues to call itself as deep as
there are subfolers. See
http://www.cpearson.com/excel/RecursionAndFSO.htm for info about
recursion and see http://www.cpearson.com/excel/FolderTree.aspx for an
add-in that automatically lists folders, subfolders and files.

The code below requires a reference to the Scripting Runtime library.
In VBA, go to the Tools menu, choose References, and then scroll down
to and check "Microsoft Scripting RunTime".


Sub AAA()
Dim FSO As Scripting.FileSystemObject
Dim FF As Scripting.Folder
Dim StartFolder As String
Dim StartCell As Range
Dim Indent As Boolean
Dim ListFiles As Boolean

StartFolder = InputBox("Enter folder path:")
If StartFolder = vbNullString Then
Exit Sub
End If
If Dir(StartFolder, vbDirectory) = vbNullString Then
Exit Sub
End If
On Error Resume Next
Set StartCell = Application.InputBox( _
prompt:="Select start cell.", Type:=8)
If StartCell Is Nothing Then
Exit Sub
End If
On Error GoTo 0

Indent = MsgBox("Indent listing?", vbYesNo) = vbYes
ListFiles = MsgBox("List files?", vbYesNo) = vbYes


Set FSO = New Scripting.FileSystemObject
Set FF = FSO.GetFolder(StartFolder)
DoFolder FF, StartCell, ListFiles, Indent


End Sub

Sub DoFolder(FF As Scripting.Folder, R As Range, ListFiles As Boolean,
Indent As Boolean)

Dim F As Scripting.File
Dim SubF As Scripting.Folder

R.Value = FF.Path
If Indent = True Then
Set R = R(1, 2)
End If
If ListFiles = True Then
For Each F In FF.Files
Set R = R(2, 1)
R.Value = F.Name
Next F
End If
Set R = R(2, 1)
For Each SubF In FF.SubFolders
DoFolder SubF, R, ListFiles, Indent
Next SubF
If Indent Then
Set R = R(1, 0)
End If

End Sub

Hi Gary

I wrote some codes (given below) for listing sub folders and files in a
Folder. It can be expanded to several levels. I stoped with the first level
sub folder. However it has a few problems like not reading certain sub folder
- If I expand C:\ and then try to expand the sub folders it does not work but
it expands all subfolders in Documents.

Surely there must be a better way. If you know please show me how to do it.

My Work;

Dim StartFolder As String
Dim InputBoxForInteraction As String
Dim InputBoxForStipulatingFolders As String

Sub HeadProcedure()

'Frmatting for New Start

InputBoxForStipulatingFolders = Application.InputBox(prompt:="Write Folder
Path leaving out the backslash at the end", Type:=2)
If InputBoxForStipulatingFolders = "" Then '2
Exit Sub
End If '-2
StartFolder = InputBoxForStipulatingFolders & "\"
ActiveCell = StartFolder

to see the contents of any Level Folders", Type:=2)
