Adding a file name in the array - arrays

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

'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), ".")))

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)

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

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.

Excel VBA ARRAY Loop to Database

I have a huge challenge which is: Search a massive database, a list of products. This database is divided into 3 dif. sheets. The result should be stored on a 4th sheet and organized by date in columns and summarized by quantity. Each database sheet has the same format (Product / Date / Quantity).
I was told that a vba array would work perfectly.
Any help will be very appreciated.

If file name contains specific text then pull information from filename (excel vba)

I have a database of about 140,000 test files. I am looking to loop through each folder and pull information from the file name of text and excel files so as to organize the data a little better.
I have found ways to pick a folder path and import information about each file using the code below. This works great except I would like to only pull information from excel and text files and I would also like to pull additional text information from the filename as well. For example I might have a file named:
"444555_CAT1010EL_650-700-800C-2hr laging NOT CH4.txt"
And I would want to print:
the 6 numbers at the beginning of the name (they could be anything) in this example "444555" in one column
print the 3 letters (they could be anything) before "1010EL" in another column. In this example "CAT"
"CH4" in the final column OR even have a column for "CH4" and if the filename contains "CH4" put an X in that column
have a column for "laging" and if the filename contains "laging" anywhere put an X in that column
Thank you in advance for your help.

I'd use this code. There's three separate procedures at the end that find the last cell on the sheet, return the folder and return all files within the folder.
The main code then looks at each file name and pulls the required information from it.
Note, this code: InStr(sFileName, "CAT") <> 0 will return TRUE/FALSE depending if the text "CAT" is within the file name. InStr(sFileName, "CAT") returns the position of "CAT" within the text, and <>0 turns that into a boolean depending on if it's different from 0.

Edit:
I've updated the code to include the other requirements and moved finding the last cell to within the loop so it actually works.
Note:
Mid(sFileName, InStr(sFileName, "1010EL") - 3, 3) - this code will throw an error if the text doesn't contain 1010EL. Add a check that InStr(sFileName, "1010EL") <> 0 before letting that line execute.

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 = _

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

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
Sub B()
Dim fName As Variant
Dim objRegex As Object
Dim lngCnt As Long
Dim rng1 As Range
Set objRegex = CreateObject("vbscript.regexp")
On Error Resume Next
fName = Application.GetOpenFilename("All Files, *.*", , "Select file", , True)
If Err.Number <> 0 Then Exit Sub
On Error GoTo 0
With objRegex
.Pattern = ".*\.(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)$"
`replace matching file types with blank array entries
For lngCnt = 1 To UBound(fName)
fName(lngCnt) = .Replace(fName(lngCnt), vbNullString)
Next
End With
Set rng1 = Cells(Rows.Count, 15).End(xlUp).Offset(1,0)
'dump array to sheet
rng1.Resize(UBound(fName), 1) = Application.Transpose(fName)
` remove blank entries
On Error Resume Next
rng1.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).Delete xlUp
On Error GoTo 0
End Sub
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
