Open files with String prefix
Hi All......
Present problem is, how can I open all the files in the default directory that have a specific string as the prefix (ie: abcdefg) so that I may extract data from them? I do not know how many files there will be, and the directory will have other files in it that I do not wish to open. Any guidance would be much appreciated, Vaya con Dios, Chuck, CABGx3 |

Open files with String prefix
Thanks Ron.........it looks really terrific, but I can't use an add-in in
this case. I just need a little code to step through the default directory and open the files I want.......sans that, then to step through a special directory and open all the files, one at a time.
