    Include Filename in the Modified Macro

    How do I modify the macro so that the result would include the filename of the file where the data was extracted?

    Option Explicit 
     
    Sub exa3() 
        Dim FSO         As Object '<-- FileSystemObject
        Dim fsoTStream  As Object '<-- TextStream
        Dim fsoFile     As Object '<-- File
        Dim strLine     As String 
         
        Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") 
        For Each fsoFile In FSO.GetFolder(ThisWorkbook.Path & "\").Files 
            If fsoFile.Type = "Text Document" Then 
                Set fsoTStream = FSO.OpenTextFile(fsoFile.Path, 1, False, &HFFFFFFFE) 
                Do While Not fsoTStream.AtEndOfStream 
                    strLine = fsoTStream.ReadLine 
                    If Left(strLine, 4) = "<ID>" Then 
                         '// Note I used the sheet's codename//
                        Sheet1.Cells(Sheet1.Rows.count, 1).End(xlUp).Offset(1).Value = _ 
                        Trim(Replace(strLine, "<ID>", vbNullString)) 
                    End If 
                Loop 
                fsoTStream.Close 
            End If 
        Next 
    End Sub

    add this line
    [VBA]
    Sheet1.Cells(Sheet1.Rows.Count, 2).End(xlUp).Offset(1).Value = fsoFile.Name
    [/VBA]

    after
    [VBA]
    Sheet1.Cells(Sheet1.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Offset(1).Value = _
    Trim(Replace(strLine, "<ID>", vbNullString))
    [/VBA]

    which writes file names to column B
