How delete last item for file name using inputbox

Hi,
I would delete last item is existed in file name specific in folders and sub folders in this device
C:\Users\OMMR\Desktop\DEL


here is some files names
C:\Users\OMMR\Desktop\DEL\ abfgtt6666-00 accrrt.xlsm
C:\Users\OMMR\Desktop\DEL\out\nhjyyuuu12000 redffg yu7888.xls
C:\Users\OMMR\Desktop\DEL\out\files\nbhjh 20000asd hjyu777 ghjytt.pdf

so what I want to show input box to write file name when click ok then delete last item , if click cancel don't delete.
example : show inputbox and write abfgtt6666-00 accrrt when click ok will become abfgtt6666-00 like this within device C:\Users\OMMR\Desktop\DEL\abfgtt6666-00
the last item will be part alone by contains space before it.
thanks

Hi,
just to be sure.
Should it work like this?:
1. I call the inputbox,
2. I enter the text string ("abfgtt6666-00 accrrt") - without the extension,
3. after confirming "yes", the program will search for a file that starts with the text from the input box.
4. The program will change the file name so that it keeps the first part of the text:
- abfgtt6666-00 accrrt.xlsm => abfgtt6666-00.xlsm
- nhjyyuuu12000 redffg yu7888.xls => nhjyyuuu12000 redffg.xls
- nbhjh 20000asd hjyu777 ghjytt.pdf => nbhjh 20000asd hjyu777.pdf

Is that right?
Question: - how do I know what the last part is? For example. "nhjyyuuu12000 redffg yu7888.xls" ?
Question: - can there be more files with the same name. In a different directory, or with a different extension?

m.s.

Is that right?

yes

Question: - how do I know what the last part is? For example. "nhjyyuuu12000 redffg yu7888.xls" ?

I have no idea how specify last item. I suppose function could do that like Len.

Question: - can there be more files with the same name. In a different directory, or with a different extension?

yes , sorry I don't mentioned that.

Try it like this: I'm not sure what you want to do with the string once the last "word" is removed....

I will check it .

@Bernie Deitrick
doesn't delete anything when I go to directory!

Hi Omar M,
press "Start"
m.s.

press "Start"

not really how works?!
I wrote into inputbox asdff4 jk788 iiio yu777 and show me without change !
doesn't delete anything !

corrected
m.s.

great!
just I would fix problem for duplicate same files names . I would delete one by one by show inputbox every time when there are many duplicates same files name in many folders .
if I click cancel then don't delete and show inputbox again to delete same file name fro another folder.
look if I have file name like this arrrrb ghhhhh hhhhh
and arrrrb ghhhhh hhhhh is existed in different location in folders , when show inputbox and write arrrrb ghhhhh hhhhh and click cancel
then will skip arrrrb ghhhhh hhhhh is existed in first folder and keep inputbox contains arrrrb ghhhhh hhhhh and move to second folder and when click ok then delete it and move third folder to delete it when click ok .

Hi Omar M,
deleting duplicate files is added. I just modified the method a bit:
- you will see "Userform1",
- in "Listbox1" there is a list of directories and files, in the order in which the program searches for them,
- in "Listbox2" there is a list of renamed files
--- if there are files with the same name but different extensions, they are separated by an empty line,
--- files to be deleted have an "X" at the beginning of the line,
--- by clicking on the given line, the "X" changes to "" (the file is not deleted),
--- by clicking again, the "X" is reset,
- marked files are deleted only after pressing the "Deleting marked files!" button

I tested several options, but I might have overlooked something - so test.
m.s.

files marked with an "X" will be physically removed from the disk.
m.s.delete last item v4.jpg

should delete last item for duplicates files , not delete file when select one of them!
should keep the duplicates files .

but in #10 you write about "removal".

sorry I don't clarify so !
should delete item , not file.

we can continue by:
- entering the file name "xxxx yyy" in the "Inputbox",
- a list of files with the same name "xxxx yyy" will be displayed in "Listbox2",
- clicking on a line in "Listbox2" will mark the files to be renamed ("X"),
- clicking on the button will rename the marked files (the last part "yyy" will be removed from them)
Do you agree?

- clicking on the button will rename the marked files (the last part "yyy" will be removed from them)

this is not clear for me !
should remove last part for the selected item in listbox2, not delete all of them at once , because I need keep the others
do you understand me what I would or...?

- you enter text in the "Inputbox",
- a list of found files ("Listbox2") will appear,
- click on the lines where you want to remove the last part of the file name (X),
- click on the "Renaming marked files!" button,
- the code will modify the name of only the marked files.
m.s.

awesome work!
thank you so much.

Do all the files that you have in these folders have 2 or more parts to their file name?

some files one part and the others two or three or four ....

@bakerman
may you clarify what's difference?
sometime show file not found Name Me.LB1.List(0) As Me.LB3.List(0) !

Post #24. How do you envision to delete part of a filename if there is only one part?

should not delete it.

thanks bakerman .
may you cancel delete item if the file name contains one part,please?
like show message" you can't rename because file contains one part"

BTW, if your file name starts with an empty space, (Char 32), the suggestion in Post #31 does not work.

OK understood.
thank you so much.
