This said, I can just guess what's your problem. Do you intend to save the changes in a new file in another folder and want to remove the original file from the old folder? Then you have at least two choices: - save the changes to the existing file and then move it to the new folder (see the description of the Name statement for details) or - save the changed file in another folder and delete the old, unchanged file (Kill statement) If the new folder doesn't exist, you'll have to create it first (Mkdir statement).

From: LondonLad on 30 Mar 2010 12:09 Hi MikeD Sorry, I do agree with what you and the others have said not enough information I try to do this because I copy code created by other people and I do not want to fall foul of copyright. On big tasks when I copy a large amount I always take the name of the author and give credit in my project, but on small tasks I copy the code by typing it to how I want it so I only take the idea and I do not always know it's origin. Anyway I apologize to you all and I will try again. Nice to know you missed me, unfortunatly I have been unwell and in hospital so I have not done any projects lately. Now have a pacemaker. What am I trying to do. This is my music collection, when I open with the explorer window in details I can select the information I want to display. The problem is things like Name,Artist etc have other information in that part of the string which I want to edit out. So I use API's Findfirst, Findnext to load a block into a Listbox I then use the following code to split it up. Private Sub Command2_Click() Dim fields() As String Dim i As Integer ' Split the string at the slash add to a ListBox fields() = Split(sString, "\") For i = 0 To UBound(fields) List1.AddItem Trim$(fields(i)) Next End Sub I then use the next code to start to edit out the unwanted info. Private Sub Command4_Click() Dim xHold As String ' strip first 3 chars add to list box xHold = Mid(sString, 3) List1.AddItem Trim$(xHold) End Sub I need to write further code to complete the edit and rebuild the string and save in a new folder. But before I write the other code I wanted to rebuild the string and post it in a new folder but this is where I got stuck and need help. I hope this explains things better.

I still don't understand. You don't save strings to a folder, you save FILES. What is this string you keep talking about? P.S., hope you're feeling better. Avoid microwaves....
From: LondonLad on 31 Mar 2010 10:31 Hi In each folder there are files for each track of music when the folder opens you can select what information displays, Name,Size,Type,Artist,Album Title etc. When I display a selection in the listbox I can see similar information which is separated by a \ I thought this was a string of the file information I get C;\Folder Name\Artist\Name\Type etc. is this still a file? This is what I am asking help for I split each part to a single line C:\ Folder Name Artist Name Type If I build this back after edit to C:\New Folder Name\Artist\Name\Type how do I put it into the new folder? And if the Artist or anything is missing can I put back here?

In other words, a folder you see when you use Explorer or a My Computer window? > When I display a selection in the listbox I can see similar information What selection? Who is making the selection and how? How are you filling this list box? You have the program in front of you and you know what you are seeing. We only know what you tell us with words. Maybe I'm a bit dense, but so far your words aren't telling me enough. > which is separated by a \ I thought this was a string of the file > information Who/what performs this backslash separation? > I get > C;\Folder Name\Artist\Name\Type etc. is this still a file? Looks more like a folder path to me. > This is what I am asking help for I split each part to a single line > C:\ > Folder Name > Artist > Name > Type > If I build this back after edit to > C:\New Folder Name\Artist\Name\Type how do I put it into the new folder? Again, if I knew for a fact what "folder" means in this context I might be able to help. > And if the Artist or anything is missing can I put back here? I can't begin to answer that part until I understand the other stuff. Let's take it step-by-step.
