Remove string in text files

[swaggerbox]

In drive D:\MyReport I have several text files formatted this way (see below). I would like to remove the date sent information (see example below 20160504, 20160523) located on the left-most side of the text file.

INVENTORY LOG FOR 25 May 2016
=============================================

20160504\XXX\BM201716161A\IMAGES\BM201716161A.PDF
20160504\XXX\BM201716161A\IMAGES\BM201716161A.TIF
20160523\XXX\BM201723252A\IMAGES\BM201723252A.PDF
20160523\XXX\BM201723252A\IMAGES\BM201723252A.TIF

Total Files : 4
=============================================

How do I programmatically remove the date sent data in each of these text files? See revised LOG below:

Hi,

Try in B1:

=RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND("\",A1))

Then drag down

Hi Tom,
Thanks for your help but the content is stored in the text files in D:\MyReport folder.

[swaggerbox]

anyone?

One of many ways, try:

Sub TextFile_FindReplace()
Dim TextFile As Integer, FilePath As String, FileContent As String, x As String, m, j, p
FilePath = "D:\MyReport"  '<<<adjust
x = Dir(FilePath & "\*.txt")
Do
  TextFile = FreeFile
  Open FilePath & "\" & x For Input As TextFile
  FileContent = Input(LOF(TextFile), TextFile)
  Close TextFile
  m = Split(FileContent, vbLf)
  For j = 0 To UBound(m)
    If InStr(m(j), "\") > 0 Then
      p = Split(m(j), "\")
      m(j) = Join(Application.Index(p, Application.Transpose(Application.Evaluate("row(2:" & UBound(p) + 1 & ")"))), "\")
    End If
  Next j
  TextFile = FreeFile
  Open FilePath & "\" & x For Output As TextFile
  Print #TextFile, Join(m, vbLf)
  Close TextFile
  x = Dir
Loop Until x = ""
End Sub

Run it only once, repeating it will progressively remove the first part of each line up to and including the first backslash. It overwrites existing files.
There are 2 instances of vbLf which might need a tweak depending on the actual content of your .txt files.
snb here would probably produce a one- or two-liner
