    Need VBA code to search file in directory and sub-directory and show result

    Hi to all,

    I have here a working code that will search and display files matching a certain string in a directory (.e.g. "Structural analysis.pdf") . However, I can't get around to have it search in sub-directories as well. Unfortunately, i'm just a beginner with excel vba, can someone help me ? I would like it to show the path to the files as well if possible. Thanks a lot and appreciate it !!

    Sub ListFiles()
    Dim MyFolder As String
    Dim MyFile As String
    Dim j As Integer
    MyFolder = Cells(2, 4)
    MyFile = Dir(MyFolder & "\*structural analysis*.pdf")
    Do While MyFile <> ""
        j = j + 5
        Cells(j, 4).Value = MyFile
        MyFile = Dir
    Loop
    
    MyFolder = Cells(2, 4)
    MyFile = Dir(MyFolder & "\*geotech*.pdf")
    Do While MyFile <> ""
       j = j + 1
       Cells(j, 4).Value = MyFile
      MyFile = Dir
    Loop
    
    MyFolder = Cells(2, 4)
    MyFile = Dir(MyFolder & "\*inspection*.pdf")
    Do While MyFile <> ""
       j = j + 1
       Cells(j, 4).Value = MyFile
       MyFile = Dir
    
    Loop
    
    End Sub
