I need to count the total number of pages in a big directory with thousands of pdf files and subdirectories.I found following code on the internet but it only search in the root directory that you set in the dialog box. How can I make this code working to look in all subdirectories too?
Sub Test() Dim I As Long
Dim xRg As Range
Dim xStr As String
Dim xFd As FileDialog
Dim xFdItem As Variant
Dim xFileName As String
Dim xFileNum As Long
Dim RegExp As Object
Set xFd = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
If xFd.Show = -1 Then
xFdItem = xFd.SelectedItems(1) & Application.PathSeparator
'xFileName = Dir(xFdItem & "*_2020_*.pdf", vbDirectory)
xFileName = Dir(xFdItem & "*.pdf", vbDirectory)
Set xRg = Range("A1")
Range("A:B").ClearContents
Range("A1:B1").Font.Bold = True
xRg = "File Name"
xRg.Offset(0, 1) = "Pages"
I = 2
xStr = ""
Do While xFileName <> ""
Cells(I, 1) = xFileName
Set RegExp = CreateObject("VBscript.RegExp")
RegExp.Global = True
RegExp.Pattern = "/Type\s*/Page[^s]"
xFileNum = FreeFile
Open (xFdItem & xFileName) For Binary As #xFileNum
xStr = Space(LOF(xFileNum))
Get #xFileNum, , xStr
Close #xFileNum
Cells(I, 2) = RegExp.Execute(xStr).Count
I = I + 1
xFileName = Dir
Loop
Columns("A:B").AutoFit
End If
End Sub
