Dear all,
I have these several huge excel files, each with a lot of sheets. I have to manually search each of them for specific string and to check if it exists somewhere.
I have found the following code and so far it works. But in order to search for a string, every time I have to open the code and change the path and the search word:
'Change as desired
strPath = "c:\MyFolder"
strSearch = "Specific text"
Instead of opening the code and changing the path each timе, I would like somehow to have a search field or something like this on the picture attached. Is it possible?

Or for example two cells on the sheet with the results, where I can put the path and the search word, without opening the code?
I hope my inquiry is understandable.
I would be very grateful for the help.

VBA Code:

Dim fld As Object
Dim strSearch As String
Dim strPath As String
Dim strFile As String
Dim wOut As Worksheet
Dim wbk As Workbook
Dim wks As Worksheet

Dim strFirstAddress As String
On Error GoTo ErrHandler
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
[B]'Change as desired
strPath = "c:\MyFolder"
strSearch = "Specific text"[/B]
Set wOut = Worksheets.Add
lRow = 1
With wOut
.Cells(lRow, 1) = "Workbook"
.Cells(lRow, 2) = "Worksheet"
.Cells(lRow, 3) = "Cell"
.Cells(lRow, 4) = "Text in Cell"
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set fld = fso.GetFolder(strPath)
strFile = Dir(strPath & "\*.xls*")
Do While strFile <> ""
Set wbk = Workbooks.Open _
(Filename:=strPath & "\" & strFile, _
UpdateLinks:=0, _
ReadOnly:=True, _
AddToMRU:=False)
For Each wks In wbk.Worksheets
Set rFound = wks.UsedRange.Find(strSearch)
If Not rFound Is Nothing Then
strFirstAddress = rFound.Address
End If
Do
If rFound Is Nothing Then
lRow = lRow + 1
.Cells(lRow, 1) = wbk.Name
.Cells(lRow, 2) = wks.Name
.Cells(lRow, 3) = rFound.Address
.Cells(lRow, 4) = rFound.Value
Else
Exit Do
End If
Set rFound = wks.Cells.FindNext(After:=rFound)
Loop While strFirstAddress <> rFound.Address
Next
wbk.Close (False)
strFile = Dir
Loop
.Columns("A:D").EntireColumn.AutoFit
End With
MsgBox "Done"
ExitHandler:
