Hi, the following is all in Column A. what I'm trying to accomplish with VBA
is to search down column A and each time a cell contains "*c:\*" in the the
cell it puts the entire string of the cell to Column S and each cell down
until another cell in Column A contains *c:\*. So the first one is A1, it
finds the c:\ and puts that in S1 thru S7. then it finds the c:\ in
c:\Dennis\Docs\Fin and puts c:\Dennis\Docs\Fin in S8 and S9, then it finds
the c:\ in c:\Dennis\Internet\AIM and puts c:\Dennis\Internet\AIM in S10 thru
S21 and so on down until finds no more "*c:\*.

TIA, Dennis

Hi Dennis,
does this do what you want?...

Public Sub Dennis()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim ilastrow As Long
ilastrow = Range("A" & Range("A:A").Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Dim I As Long
Dim vaData As Variant
For I = 1 To ilastrow
With Range("A" & I)
If Not .Find("c:\") Is Nothing Then
vaData = .Value
End If
End With
Range("S" & I).Value = vaData
Next I
End Sub
