dir function

[adnan2004]

when we get any additional file name in same pathname,why  we call Dir again with no arguments

You must always call Dir first with arguments. This will return the name of the first file (or folder) that matches the specification.

Each time you call Dir without arguments after that, it will return the name of the next file (or folder) that matches the original specification.

So you can use code like this:

    Const sFolder = "C:\Excel\"
    Dim sFile As String
    ' Get the name of the first Excel workbook in the folder
    sFile = Dir(sFolder & "*.xlsx")
    ' Loop through the workbooks until none is found
    Do While sFile <> ""
        ' Do something with the file name
        MsgBox "Found file: " & sFile
        ' Get the next file name
        sFile = Dir
    Loop
