Get list of sub-directories
Posted by JAF on September 18, 2000 4:43 AM
Hi
I have some code (which I got from somewhare else - I dodn't write it!) which generates a list of files within a user specified directory (code at end of message).
This comes in very useful, but what I need now is something to generate a list of sub-directories (not file names) within a user specified directory.
I've tried mucking about with the above code, but it's beyond my level of VBA knowledge.
Any suggestions?

See if the following does what you need. I didn't write it but don't have a record of where I got it from. I've never used it before now.
Celia
Sub List_Sub_Directories()
Dim dirList() As String
List_Directories "C:\My Documents\", dirList()
Print_List dirList()
End Sub
Sub List_Directories(anypath As String, dirList() As String)
Dim dirOutput As String, i%
dirOutput = Dir(anypath, vbDirectory)
Do While dirOutput <> ""
If dirOutput <> "." And dirOutput <> ".." Then
If (GetAttr(anypath & dirOutput) _
And vbDirectory) = vbDirectory Then
i = i + 1
ReDim Preserve dirList(1 To i)
dirList(i) = anypath & dirOutput
End If
End If
dirOutput = Dir()
Loop
End Sub
Sub Print_List(anyList() As String)
Dim i%, J%
For i = LBound(anyList) To UBound(anyList)
If LBound(anyList) = 0 Then J = 1
Cells(i + J, 1).Value = anyList(i)
Next
End Sub

Hi Jaf
To combine Celias code (some alterations) and
the code you used......try this; This way will
give you the option of selecting the Dir to get
Via the Browsforfolder function.
