Browse, search and copy files from one location to another based on the list given in excel sheet us
Hi,
Previously i posted in this forum & Excel Help Forum but it was marked as cross posting and closed the job without any rsolution, but please understand my need and help me, recently it was not posted in any forum. I want to copy the list of files from excel column A (file names list) and column B (Msg Box). Below macro was copyinng only anyone format like pdf, docx or rtf, even i declare sFileType = ".pdf" sFileType = ".docx" sFileType = ".rtf" but it was not working, can anyonce please help me in reviewing the below code. Additionally Add: Can you please add if any file already exists in destination folder it should ask for confirmation as "Overwrite" or "Keep the both files" ... Range is "Column A" and Msg box is "Column B" Format types .doc, .rtf,.docx , .pdf ,html Column "A" Heading as "File Name" & Column "B" Heading as "Staus". If a file copied successfully msg as "Process Executed" If a file is not available in source path msg as "Does Not Exists" Same file name is having diferent versions like 123.doc , 123.docx , 123.pdf , 123.Html but it was copying only one format. Please find the below code and review and please insert the above additional notes.. Code:
Sub CopyFiles1() '' Code Dim iRow As Integer ' ROW COUNTER. Dim SourcePath As String Dim DestinationPath As String Dim sFileType As String Dim bContinue As Boolean bContinue = True iRow = 2 ' THE SOURCE AND DESTINATION FOLDER WITH PATH. SourcePath = InputBox("PLEASE ENTER PATH", "SOURCE PATH") & "\" DestinationPath = InputBox("PLEASE ENTER PATH", "DESTINATION PATH") & "\" sFileType = ".pdf" sFileType = ".docx" sFileType = ".rtf" ' LOOP THROUGH COLUMN "A" TO PICK THE FILES. While bContinue If Len(Range("A" & CStr(iRow)).Value) = 0 Then ' DO NOTHING IF THE COLUMN IS BLANK. MsgBox "Process executed" ' DONE. bContinue = False Else ' CHECK IF FILES EXISTS. If Len(Dir(SourcePath & Range("A" & CStr(iRow)).Value & sFileType)) = 0 Then Range("B" & CStr(iRow)).Value = "Does Not Exists" Range("B" & CStr(iRow)).Font.Bold = True Else Range("B" & CStr(iRow)).Value = "Copied" Range("B" & CStr(iRow)).Font.Bold = False If Trim(DestinationPath) <> "" Then Dim objFSO Set objFSO = CreateObject("scripting.filesystemobject") ' CHECK IF DESTINATION FOLDER EXISTS. If objFSO.FolderExists(DestinationPath) = False Then MsgBox DestinationPath & " Does Not Exists" Exit Sub End If '***** ' HERE I HAVE INCLUDED TWO DIFFERENT METHODS. ' I HAVE COMMENTED THE SECOND METHOD. TO THE SEE THE RESULT OF THE ' SECOND METHOD, UNCOMMENT IT AND COMMENT THE FIRST METHOD. ' METHOD 1) - USING "CopyFile" METHOD TO COPY THE FILES. objFSO.CopyFile Source:=SourcePath & Range("A" & CStr(iRow)).Value & _ sFileType, Destination:=DestinationPath ' METHOD 2) - USING "MoveFile" METHOD TO PERMANENTLY MOVE THE FILES. 'objFSO.MoveFile Source:=sSourcePath & Range("B" & CStr(iRow)).Value & _ sFileType, Destination:=sDestinationPath '***** End If End If End If iRow = iRow + 1 ' INCREMENT ROW COUNTER. Wend Set objFSO = Nothing End Sub |

It will only do rtf files as you are changing the varible from pdf, to docx to rtf with out doing anything with it.
so the code will execute with .rtf all the time sFileType = ".pdf" sFileType = ".docx" sFileType = ".rtf" |
