Delete an item in an array - arrays

I have this code that browse all file types in VBA. It's already working but my what I want to do now is to delete the item in the array if it is one of the blocked file types.
Const exts = _

file = Application.GetOpenFilename(MultiSelect:=True, Title:="Select the files you want to zip")
If IsArray(file) = True Then
'Create empty Zip File
ReDim Data(1 To UBound(file) + 1, 1 To 1)
efCount = Empty
' filter the list
For j = LBound(file) To UBound(file)
ext = LCase(Mid(file(j), InStrRev(file(j), ".")))
If InStr(1, exts, ext & ".") = 0 Then ' if not blacklisted
count = count + 1
Data(count, 1) = file(j)
Else
ReDim Preserve excludedFile(efCount)
excludedFile(efCount) = Dir(file(j))
efCount = efCount + 1
file(j - 1) = file(j) 'Ive tried this and other ways bu is not working
found = True
End If
Next
Thanks for the help.

you could go like this
Dim file As Variant
Dim efCount As Long, j As Long, count As Long
Dim ext As String
Dim found As Boolean
Const exts = _
".ade.adp.app.asp.bas.bat.cer.chm.cmd.com.cpl.crt.csh.der.exe.fxp.gadget" & _
".hlp.hta.inf.ins.isp.its.js.jse.ksh.lnk.mad.maf.mag.mam.maq.mar.mas.mat" & _
".mau.mav.maw.mda.mdb.mde.mdt.mdw.mdz.msc.msh.msh1.msh2.mshxml.msh1xml" & _
".msh2xml.ade.adp.app.asp.bas.bat.cer.chm.cmd.com.cpl.crt.csh.der.exe.fxp" & _
".gadget.hlp.hta.msi.msp.mst.ops.pcd.pif.plg.prf.prg.pst.reg.scf.scr.sct" & _
".shb.shs.ps1.ps1xml.ps2.ps2xml.psc1.psc2.tmp.url.vb.vbe.vbs.vsmacros.vsw" & _
".ws.wsc.wsf.wsh.xnk."
file = Application.GetOpenFilename(MultiSelect:=True, Title:="Select the files you want to zip")
If IsArray(file) = True Then
'Create empty Zip File
ReDim Data(1 To UBound(file))
ReDim excludedFile(1 To UBound(file))
efCount = 0
' filter the list
For j = LBound(file) To UBound(file)
ext = LCase(Mid(file(j), InStrRev(file(j), ".")))
If InStr(1, exts, ext & ".") = 0 Then ' if not blacklisted
count = count + 1
Data(count) = file(j)
Else
excludedFile(efCount + 1) = Dir(file(j))
efCount = efCount + 1
End If
Next
found = efCount > 0
End If
ReDim Preserve Data(1 To count)
ReDim Preserve excludedFile(1 To efCount)
file = Data

You can use function to delete particular value from array. Put this into your project:
Function DeleteElement(x As String, ByRef List() As String) ' As String
Dim i As Integer, el As Integer
Dim Result() As String
ReDim Result(UBound(List) - 1)
For i = 0 To UBound(List)
If x = List(i) Then
el = i
Exit For
End If
Next i
For i = 0 To UBound(Result)
If i < el Then
Result(i) = List(i)
Else
Result(i) = List(i + 1)
End If
Next i
DeleteElement = Result
End Function
You can use it like here:
Sub test2()
Dim arr1(3) As String
arr1(0) = "A"
arr1(1) = "B"
arr1(2) = "C"
arr1(3) = "D"
arr2 = DeleteElement("B", arr1)
End Sub

Find duplicates in 2D arrays in VBA

I want a cod that will find duplicates and return it in separate array.
So I found a code that would be perfect for me, but the thing is that this code is removing duplicates. I thought that it will be a simple job to change it, but somehow I cannot manage to do it....
I was thinking that it will be in this part of code If Err.Number <> 0 Then coll.Remove txt but have no idea how to change it. I have tried changing <> with = but it seems not to work.
Can someone tell me where and how should I change the code to get duplicates from 2 arrays.
Sub test()
Dim arr1 As Variant
Dim arr2 As Variant
Dim arr3 As Variant
Dim coll As Collection
Dim I As Long, j As Long, ii As Long, txt As String, x
With Worksheets("Sheet1")
LastRowColumnA = .Cells(.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
arr1 = .Range("A2:C" & LastRowColumnA).Value
End With
With Worksheets("Sheet2")
LastRowColumnA = .Cells(.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
arr2 = .Range("A2:C" & LastRowColumnA).Value
End With
Set coll = New Collection
On Error Resume Next
For I = LBound(arr1, 1) To UBound(arr1, 1)
txt = Join(Array(arr1(I, 1), arr1(I, 2), arr1(I, 3)), Chr(2))
coll.Add txt, txt
Next I
For I = LBound(arr2, 1) To UBound(arr2, 1)
txt = Join(Array(arr2(I, 1), arr2(I, 2), arr2(I, 3)), Chr(2))
Err.Clear
coll.Add txt, txt
If Err.Number <> 0 Then coll.Remove txt
Next I
ReDim arr3(1 To coll.Count, 1 To 3)
For I = 1 To coll.Count
x = Split(coll(I), Chr(2))
For ii = 0 To 2
arr3(I, ii + 1) = x(ii)
Next
Next I
Worksheets("test").Range("A2").Resize(UBound(arr3, 1), 3).Value = arr3
Columns("A:C").EntireColumn.AutoFit
End Sub

Dictionaries don't allow duplicate keys. We are only setting keys and ignoring the value by not setting it. The dictionary raises an error if the key exists.

Storing cell addresses into an array in vba while using a loop

I am trying to work through a code that utilizes a system to check two different worksheets by using a for loop and highlight the differences/edits made in the second sheet ("Version 2") onto the first sheet ("Original"). I have a feeling that I need to utilize an array but I'm not advanced enough where I know how to store the values and then later write them onto another sheet (down below).
I've gotten the code so that it highlights all the relevant cells, but now I'm trying to output it into a report (on another sheet called 'Logged Changes') which will summarize all the cell addresses where edits were made. Please forgive all the variables as this is from an old code set where variables are not explicitly defined:
Private Sub CompareBasic()
Dim actSheet As Range
Dim k As Integer
Dim o As Long
Dim p As Long
Dim i As Integer
Dim change As Integer
o = Worksheets("Original").Cells(2, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
p = Worksheets("Original").Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
change = 0
Sheets("Original").Select
For i = 2 To p
For k = 1 To o
If IsNumeric(Worksheets("Original").Cells(i, k).Value) = True Then
If Worksheets("Original").Cells(i, k).Value <> Worksheets("Version 2").Cells(i, k).Value Then
Worksheets("Original").Cells(i, k).Interior.ColorIndex = 37
change = change + 1
End If
Else
If StrComp(Worksheets("Original").Cells(i, k), Worksheets("Version 2").Cells(i, k), vbBinaryCompare) <> 0 Then
Worksheets("Original").Cells(i, k).Interior.ColorIndex = 37
change = change + 1
End If
End If
Next k
Next i
Unload Me
MsgBox "Number of cells edited counted: " & change, vbOKOnly + vbExclamation, "Summary"
b = Empty
answer = MsgBox("Do you want to run the Report?", vbYesNo + vbQuestion)
If answer = vbYes Then
If Sheet_Exists("Logged Changes") = False Then
Sheet_Name = "Logged Changes"
Worksheets.Add(After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)).Name = Sheet_Name
End If
Worksheets("Logged Changes").Range("A1") = "Edited Requirements"
Else
Unload Me
End If

Is VBA able to store each array individually and wait to print them to a template?

Is there a way to have this script form the entire array based off the rows I want it to extract based on the IF Statement?
I know this finds a name on the Mgrs worksheet, and finds those rows in the Data worksheet, but then it directly prints it after forming the array. Can I have this code store all of the data, and then wait to print the data on a template that I format myself?

You could store the array each time in an overarching array or a collection and loop that at the end...
Public Sub test()
Dim varArray2() As Variant, results As Collection
'other code..
Set results = New Collection
results.Add varArray2
End Sub
You could also use Select Case , or something distinctive during the loop, to determine a key and populate a dictionary with the arrays as values which might make retrieval of specific items easier.

Deleting directory in an array

I have this code that gets all file types.
Dim file as variant
file = Application.GetOpenFilename("All Files, *.*", , "Select File", , True)
Then I have to print it in the cells on a sheet.
For i = 1 To UBound(file)
lRow = Cells(Rows.count, 15).End(xlUp).Row
lRow = lRow + 1
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Main").Range("O" & lRow).Value = CStr(file(i))
Next i
but what I want is first check the contents of the array. If the array has this file type, then I have to remove it in the arraylist. After that, a message will pop out that this files are removed.
dim arr() as string

I just don't know where I have to start. I have found a little bit same problem here in this post, but I just can't understand it. Thanks!
You can use a RegExp and a varaint array to do this quickly
This code looks for path... dot extension end string so it is more robust than your current array which may remove files based on the path name rather than file type

One way would be to check that the extension it's not present in the blacklist with InStr:
Const exts = _
".ade.adp.app.asp.bas.bat.cer.chm.cmd.com.cpl.crt.csh.der.exe.fxp.gadget" & _
".hlp.hta.inf.ins.isp.its.js.jse.ksh.lnk.mad.maf.mag.mam.maq.mar.mas.mat" & _
".mau.mav.maw.mda.mdb.mde.mdt.mdw.mdz.msc.msh.msh1.msh2.mshxml.msh1xml" & _
".msh2xml.ade.adp.app.asp.bas.bat.cer.chm.cmd.com.cpl.crt.csh.der.exe.fxp" & _
".gadget.hlp.hta.msi.msp.mst.ops.pcd.pif.plg.prf.prg.pst.reg.scf.scr.sct" & _
".shb.shs.ps1.ps1xml.ps2.ps2xml.psc1.psc2.tmp.url.vb.vbe.vbs.vsmacros.vsw" & _
".ws.wsc.wsf.wsh.xnk."
Dim file As Variant
file = Application.GetOpenFilename("All Files, *.*", , "Select File", , True)
Dim i As Long, data(), count As Long, ext As String
ReDim data(1 To UBound(file) + 1, 1 To 1)
' filter the list
For i = LBound(file) To UBound(file)
ext = LCase(Mid(file(i), InStrRev(file(i), ".")))
If InStr(1, exts, ext & ".") = 0 Then ' if not blacklisted
count = count + 1
data(count, 1) = file(i)
End If
Next
' copy the filtered list to the next available row in column "O"
If count Then
With ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Main").Cells(Rows.count, "O").End(xlUp)
.Offset(1).Resize(count).Value = data
End With
End If

Adding a file name in the array

I have this code that gets all file types. Then if it has the extensions in the array, it should be stored in the excludedFile array and will be displayed after execution.
Dim excludedFile() as String
Const exts = _
".ade.adp.app.asp.bas.bat.cer.chm.cmd.com.cpl.crt.csh.der.exe.fxp.gadget" & _
".hlp.hta.inf.ins.isp.its.js.jse.ksh.lnk.mad.maf.mag.mam.maq.mar.mas.mat"
Dim file As Variant
file = Application.GetOpenFilename("All Files, *.*", , "Select File", , True)
ReDim data(1 To UBound(file) + 1, 1 To 1)
' filter the list
For i = LBound(file) To UBound(file)
ext = LCase(Mid(file(i), InStrRev(file(i), ".")))
If InStr(1, exts, ext & ".") = 0 Then ' if not blacklisted
count = count + 1
data(count, 1) = file(i)
Else 'I've tried this but returns Subscript out of range error
excludedFile(UBound(excludedFile)) = file(i)
ReDim Preserve excludedFile(1 To UBound(excludedFile) + 1) As String
found = true
End If
Next
if found then
MsgBox Join(excludedFile, vbCrLf)
end if
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Not the most elegant way, but working
Const exts = _
".ade.adp.app.asp.bas.bat.cer.chm.cmd.com.cpl.crt.csh.der.exe.fxp.gadget" & _
".hlp.hta.inf.ins.isp.its.js.jse.ksh.lnk.mad.maf.mag.mam.maq.mar.mas.mat"
Dim file As Variant
file = Application.GetOpenFilename("All Files, *.*", , "Select File", , True)
'Dim your Array and a Counter
Dim excludedFile() As String
Dim efCount As Integer
ReDim Data(1 To UBound(file) + 1, 1 To 1)
efCount = 0
' filter the list
For i = LBound(file) To UBound(file)
ext = LCase(Mid(file(i), InStrRev(file(i), ".")))
If InStr(1, exts, ext & ".") = 0 Then ' if not blacklisted
Count = Count + 1
Data(Count, 1) = file(i)
Else 'I've tried this but returns Subscript out of range error
'Use counter to access array
ReDim Preserve excludedFile(efCount)
excludedFile(efCount) = file(i)
efCount = efCount + 1
found = True
End If
Next
If found Then
MsgBox Join(excludedFile, vbCrLf)
End If
