Question
Hello,
Being a novice coder I many questions. So far I have managed to stumble may way through however I am in need of help now.

What I am trying to do is, take text from a text box and remove what ever is in that box from a list of loaded file names.
(eg. original is file title is hello-how-are-you.txt and the text box text is "hello-how-are". once the code is run i want only you.txt left)
So far I am able to display the file paths and rename 1 file what ever is in a text box.
Here is the code I have:

Private Sub BtnStart_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles BtnStart.Click
       Dim progress As New Progress

       Dim newtext As String
       Dim nxt As Integer

       nxt = 0

       For Each strfilename As String In LstList.Items

           newtext = txtRemove.Text
           TabMain.Tag = LstList.Items(nxt)
           File.Move(TabMain.Tag, "C:\Users\Steve\Documents\test\" & newtext & ".mp3")

           nxt = nxt + 1
       Next
   End Sub

I know that will only allow me to rename one file and Im lost on how to make it do what I want it to.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thankyou for reading and I hope i was clear enough (sometimes Im no lol)

thanks
steve

Answer
Hello Sir

so in simple words you want to trim the filename ok

Function TrimFileName(byval strFilename as String)
Return Left$(strFilename,Len(strFilename)/2)
End Function

it will work if not then plz mail me syedadeel2@gmail.com
