Thanks for the help on my previous question. With the suggestion I was able to read in the line of text from the Word document. I was then able to proceed to parse the line to pull out the file name.
I am now trying to initiate a file search using that file name. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to use MS Word Macro to initiate a text file search? I will need to find the file, open it, and then search within the text file.
Any help will be appreciated. Thank you!
To search, use Application.FileSearch:
FileSearch Object
Reading, use FileSystemObject
Searching should be a simple matter of InStr from there.
