I am working on the code which successfully copies the file (based on partial name list) from one folder to another. However i just would like to request if there is any possible way where the code can also read the extension of file before copy. For example column A contains the name of files and Column Column B contains extensions of each file, therefore the code should first read the file name and then extensions and if it matches then it should copy otherwise skips. I have the files with the following extension.
XML PDF TXT ZIP RAR PDF
also the code i have is mentioned below
Sub moveFilesFromListPartial()
Const sPath As String = "E:\Uploading\Source"
Const dPath As String = "E:\Uploading\Destination\Destination_2\!Destination_3"
Const fRow As Long = 2
Const Col As String = "B"
' Reference the worksheet.
Dim ws As Worksheet: Set ws = Sheet2
' Calculate the last row,
' i.e. the row containing the last non-empty cell in the column.
Dim lRow As Long: lRow = ws.Cells(ws.Rows.Count, Col).End(xlUp).Row
' Validate the last row.
If lRow < fRow Then
MsgBox "No data in column range.", vbCritical
Exit Sub
End If
' Early Binding - needs a reference
' to 'Tools > References > Microsoft Scripting Runtime' (has intelli-sense)
Dim fso As Scripting.FileSystemObject
Set fso = New Scripting.FileSystemObject
' Late Binding - needs no reference (no intelli-sense)
'Dim fso As Object: Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
' Validate the source folder path.
Dim sFolderPath As String: sFolderPath = sPath
If Right(sFolderPath, 1) <> "\" Then sFolderPath = sFolderPath & "\"
If Not fso.FolderExists(sFolderPath) Then
MsgBox "The source folder path '" & sFolderPath _
& "' doesn't exist.", vbCritical
Exit Sub
End If
' Validate the destination folder path.
Dim dFolderPath As String: dFolderPath = dPath
If Right(dFolderPath, 1) <> "\" Then dFolderPath = dFolderPath & "\"
If Not fso.FolderExists(dFolderPath) Then
MsgBox "The destination folder path '" & dFolderPath _
& "' doesn't exist.", vbCritical
Exit Sub
End If
Dim r As Long ' current row in worksheet column
Dim sFilePath As String
Dim sPartialFileName As String
Dim sFileName As String
Dim dFilePath As String
Dim sYesCount As Long ' source file moved
Dim sNoCount As Long ' source file not found
Dim dYesCount As Long ' source file exists in destination folder
Dim BlanksCount As Long ' blank cell
For r = fRow To lRow
sPartialFileName = CStr(ws.Cells(r, Col).Value)
If Len(sPartialFileName) > 3 Then ' the cell is not blank
' 'Begins with' sPartialFileName
sFileName = Dir(sFolderPath & sPartialFileName & "*")
' or instead, 'Contains' sPartialFileName
'sFileName = Dir(sFolderPath & "*" & sPartialFileName & "*")
Do While sFileName <> ""
If Len(sFileName) > 3 Then ' source file found
sFilePath = sFolderPath & sFileName
dFilePath = dFolderPath & sFileName
If Not fso.FileExists(dFilePath) Then ' the source file...
fso.CopyFile sFilePath, dFilePath ' ... doesn't exist...
sYesCount = sYesCount + 1 ' ... in the destination
Else ' the source file exists in the destination folder
dYesCount = dYesCount + 1
End If
Else ' the source file doesn't exist
sNoCount = sNoCount + 1
End If
sFileName = Dir
Loop
Else ' the cell is blank
BlanksCount = BlanksCount + 1
End If
Next r
End Sub
I will be really thankful
Please, use the next updated code. It uses my suggestion from my above comment. It works only if the file partial name exists in "A:A" column and extension in "B:B":
Sub moveFilesFromListPartial()

sExt = CStr(ws.cells(r, colExt).Value)

sNoCount = sNoCount + 1
End If
sFileName = Dir
Loop

BlanksCount = BlanksCount + 1
End If
Next r
End Sub
Please, send some feedback after testing it.
