I have tons of text files with different filenames, however; inside each of those files are words I would like to switch out. For example, I have a filename called "[login to view URL]", inside that file are different words. I would like for the script to go through that text file and find a specific word i input and replace it with the file name. Here is an example. I have a file name called "[login to view URL]", and I have lines of text in the file. I want the script to go through the file and find every word called "flavors" and replace it with the name of the actual file it is located in, so the end result will look like this... Filename: "[login to view URL]" "body of File Hello, how are you readers? I have an article about orange-soda. Do you know where orange-soda originated from? orange-soda came from Mars, pluto, jupiter and the sun." Note: in above paragraph, where ever you see "orange-soda", which is the name of the text file, the previous word that it replaced was "flavors". If you understand what I need, please make a bid. After you make a bid, send me a private not to confirm details of requirements. additional requirements. Although My filenames are in the following format:"[login to view URL]", I would like an option to find and replace a specified word with "orange-soda" or "orange soda" with or without the dashes with spaces.

I plan to complete the project via writing an Excel macro contained in a separate XLSM file. This approach makes further use of the macro very convenient by offering a Control sheet to identify the current input file. In my approach you'll have opportunity to consult details with me, to test pilot solutions if necessary in order to achieve an optimal final solution. Further use of macros, fixing of bugs and minor changes are included in the bid without any additional fees. Regards!
