Question

I would like to get tree view using excel vba.I have many String likes this

      /folderOne/fileOne
      /folderTwo/fileThree
      /folderOne/fileTwo

Further to the recent edit, let's say your worksheet looks like this. Note that I created some dummy samples to demonstrate duplicate sub folders.

/branches/test
/branches/test/link.txt
/branches/test/Test1/link.txt
/branches/testOne
/tags
/trunk
/trunk/test/Test1/link.txt
/trunk/testing
/trunk/testing/link.txt
/trunk/testOne

Paste the below code in a module and run it. The output will be generated in a new sheet.

CODE:

Option Explicit

Const MyDelim As String = "#Sidz#"

Sub Sample()
    Dim ws As Worksheet, wsNew As Worksheet
    Dim MyAr As Variant, TempAr As Variant
    Dim LRow As Long, lCol As Long
    Dim i As Long, j As Long, k As Long, r As Long, Level As Long
    Dim delRange As Range
    Dim sFormula As String, stemp1 As String, stemp2 As String
