How to get selected path and name of the file opened with file dialog?
You can get any part of the file path using the FileSystemObject. GetFileName(filepath) gives you what you want.
Modified code below:
Sub GetFilePath()
Dim objFSO as New FileSystemObject
Set myFile = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogOpen)
With myFile
.Title = "Choose File"
.AllowMultiSelect = False
If .Show <> -1 Then
Exit Sub
End If
FileSelected = .SelectedItems(1)
End With
ActiveSheet.Range("A1") = FileSelected 'The file path
ActiveSheet.Range("A2") = objFSO.GetFileName(FileSelected) 'The file name
End Sub
Try this
Sub Demo()
Dim lngCount As Long
Dim cl As Range
Set cl = ActiveCell
' Open the file dialog
With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogOpen)
.AllowMultiSelect = True
.Show
' Display paths of each file selected
For lngCount = 1 To .SelectedItems.Count
' Add Hyperlinks
cl.Worksheet.Hyperlinks.Add _
Anchor:=cl, Address:=.SelectedItems(lngCount), _
TextToDisplay:=.SelectedItems(lngCount)
' Add file name
'cl.Offset(0, 1) = _
' Mid(.SelectedItems(lngCount), InStrRev(.SelectedItems(lngCount), "\") + 1)
' Add file as formula
cl.Offset(0, 1).FormulaR1C1 = _
"=TRIM(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(RC[-1],""\"",REPT("" "",99)),99))"
Set cl = cl.Offset(1, 0)
Next lngCount
End With
End Sub
To extract only the filename from the path, you can do the following:
varFileName = Mid(fDialog.SelectedItems(1), InStrRev(fDialog.SelectedItems(1), "\") + 1, Len(fDialog.SelectedItems(1)))
