I need some way to cycle thru all files in a directory.

Choose the topmost file

Create a new directory in a different location and name it the same as that file

Move the file there.

Open the file.

I need some way to cycle thru all files in a directory.

Take a look at the Repeat with Folder command. There is an example of how this in the 'Process Folder' macro found in the 'Samples.mex' macro file installed in the folder where your Macro Express Program files are located (by default c:\Program Files\Macro Express3).

 

There are a couple of ways to load these macros to allow you see how they work.

 

1. You could import them into your macro file by clicking File, Import, Import Macros. Choose the samples.mex (by default located in c:\Program Files\Macro Express3).

 

2. You could also open the samples.mex file in Macro Express. Click File, Open Macro File and choose samples.mex (again, in the folder where the Macro Express program files are loaded). If you choose to do this make sure that you Reopen your existing macro file (File, Reopen) before editing any macros in this file.

Kevin,

Thanks i did not know that.

That solves some of the problem but i still can not figure out how to Create a new directory in a different location and name it the same as that file.

 

Any other help would be appreciated..

A quick and simple way to get the first file in a folder is to use Repeat With Folder with the only command inside a Break.
