Hello,
I have one macro that will search for a specific range in a series of workbooks and copy that range to a new workbook, and another that will search for a specific value and copy that value to a new sheet, but i can't use it on multiple workbooks. I need to search for a specific value and multiple workbooks and copy the entire row containing a specific value to a new workbook. Is there a way i can combine these macros to do that?
Here is the first:
Sub MergeAllWorkbooks()
Dim MyPath As String, FilesInPath As String
Dim MyFiles() As String
Dim SourceRcount As Long, FNum As Long
Dim mybook As Workbook, BaseWks As Worksheet
Dim sourceRange As Range, destrange As Range
Dim rnum As Long, CalcMode As Long

' Change this to the path\folder location of your files.
MyPath = "C:\Documents and Settings\cford\Desktop\Test"

' Add a slash at the end of the path if needed.
If Right(MyPath, 1) <> "\" Then
MyPath = MyPath & "\"
End If

' If there are no Excel files in the folder, exit.
FilesInPath = Dir(MyPath & "*.xl*")
If FilesInPath = "" Then
MsgBox "No files found"
Exit Sub
End If

' Fill the myFiles array with the list of Excel files
' in the search folder.
FNum = 0
Do While FilesInPath <> ""
FNum = FNum + 1
ReDim Preserve MyFiles(1 To FNum)
MyFiles(FNum) = FilesInPath
FilesInPath = Dir()
Loop

' Set various application properties.
With Application
CalcMode = .Calculation
.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
.ScreenUpdating = False
.EnableEvents = False
End With

' Add a new workbook with one sheet.
Set BaseWks = Workbooks.Add(xlWBATWorksheet).Worksheets(1)
rnum = 1

' Loop through all files in the myFiles array.
If FNum > 0 Then
For FNum = LBound(MyFiles) To UBound(MyFiles)
Set mybook = Nothing
On Error Resume Next
Set mybook = Workbooks.Open(MyPath & MyFiles(FNum))
On Error GoTo 0

If Not mybook Is Nothing Then
On Error Resume Next

' Change this range to fit your own needs.
With mybook.Worksheets(1)
Set sourceRange = .Range("1:1")
End With

If Err.Number > 0 Then
Err.Clear
Set sourceRange = Nothing
Else
' If source range uses all columns then
' skip this file.
If sourceRange.Columns.Count >= BaseWks.Columns.Count Then
Set sourceRange = Nothing
End If
End If
On Error GoTo 0

If Not sourceRange Is Nothing Then

SourceRcount = sourceRange.Rows.Count

If rnum + SourceRcount >= BaseWks.Rows.Count Then
MsgBox "There are not enough rows in the target worksheet."
BaseWks.Columns.AutoFit
mybook.Close savechanges:=False
GoTo ExitTheSub
Else

' Copy the file name in column A.
With sourceRange
BaseWks.Cells(rnum, "A"). _
Resize(.Rows.Count).Value = MyFiles(FNum)
End With

' Set the destination range.
Set destrange = BaseWks.Range("B" & rnum)

' Copy the values from the source range
' to the destination range.
With sourceRange
Set destrange = destrange. _
Resize(.Rows.Count, .Columns.Count)
End With
destrange.Value = sourceRange.Value

rnum = rnum + SourceRcount
End If
End If
mybook.Close savechanges:=False
End If

Next FNum
BaseWks.Columns.AutoFit
End If

ExitTheSub:
' Restore the application properties.
With Application
.ScreenUpdating = True
.EnableEvents = True
.Calculation = CalcMode
End With
End Sub


And the second:
Sub customcopy()
Dim strsearch As String, lastline As Integer, tocopy As Integer

strsearch = CStr(InputBox("enter the string to search for"))
lastline = Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Row
j = 1

For i = 1 To lastline
For Each c In Range("A" & i & ":H" & i)
If InStr(c.Text, strsearch) Then
tocopy = 1
End If
Next c
If tocopy = 1 Then
Rows(i).Copy Destination:=Sheets(2).Rows(j)
j = j + 1
End If
tocopy = 0
Next i

End Sub

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

from what i understood from you question, you need to do use logic of both macro into a new one

from the first one, get the logic to find all the workbook
In the part of the first macro where it starts scanning the each workbook, make a call to use other macro

Since you would perhaps not like to be asked for each file what to search for, take out that part from 2nd macro and move it to the new maco

so it becomes some thing like
1. code to get what to be searched
2. get all the workbook
3. open a new workbook
4. loop through all workbook obtained in step 2 and call macro2
