Loop through files and merge Word files with same number

[CNorth]

Hi

I’m still learning VBA and would be grateful if someone could point me in the right direction. I would like to loop through files in a folder and merge documents with the same number. The file numbering is shown below, for example I need to merge files 1.4a-d. I will use FSO to access the folder, then InStr to find the position of the space character, then LEFT to extract the leftmost substring (although there may be an easier way to do this?!). However, I’m not sure of the next step, can someone kindly suggest how I go about coding - if the substring matches the next folder substring then do….

1.1 FileName
1.2 FileName
1.3 FileName
1.4a FileName
1.4b FileName
1.4c FileName
1.4d FileName

Thank you. Caroline.
