I'm looking to search a folder for a keyword term 'fuel', to pull information from returned files into a 'data' sheet.
For instance, I have a folder week numbers (1 - 52 cross the year so in the new year this will contain one folder but will build as the year goes on).
I search this folder for all .doc files contains the word 'fuel'.
You can do this via a Windows search by typing "fuel" in the search function in the top corner and it will display all filenames and all files that contains the word 'fuel'.
I have this for searching for a file that has 'fuel' in its name, but not inside it.
Sub LoopThroughFiles()
Dim MyObj As Object, MySource As Object, file As Variant
file = Dir("c:\testfolder\")
While (file <> "")
If InStr(file, "fuel") > 0 Then
MsgBox "found " & file
Exit Sub
End If
file = Dir
Wend
End Sub
