    Assuming you have the full folder names in column A, use the macro recorder then use Text To Columns and use "_" as the delimiter.
    I got this:[VBA] Selection.TextToColumns Destination:=Range("A1"), DataType:=xlDelimited, _
    TextQualifier:=xlDoubleQuote, ConsecutiveDelimiter:=False, Tab:=True, _
    Semicolon:=False, Comma:=False, Space:=False, Other:=True, OtherChar _
    :="_", FieldInfo:=Array(Array(1, 2), Array(2, 2), Array(3, 2), Array(4, 2)), _
    TrailingMinusNumbers:=True
    [/VBA]Now just tweak it by adjusting Selection, and the destination.

    first part:
    http://www.erlandsendata.no/english/...ldersscripting

    for subfolders.


    second part:
    texttocolumns or VBA split below.

    [vba]
    Sub split_str()
    Dim rng As Range, cll As Range
    Dim vSplit As Variant
    Dim LR As Long
    LR = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row 'col A, last nonblank row
    Set rng = Range("A1:A" & LR) 'range that houses subfolders list. change to suit
    On Error Resume Next
    For Each cll In rng
    vSplit = Split(cll.Value, "_") 'delimiter is "_"
    cll.Resize(1, UBound(vSplit) - LBound(vSplit) + 1).Value = Application.Transpose(Application.Transpose(vSplit))
    Next
    End Sub
    [/vba]
