String text in Word html. Passing info between Word and Excel

[DocAElstein]

Macro to get this image info.
It’s not too difficult to write a macro to list those files
Example, Sub ListThe_jpgs_pngs()
VBA seems to recognise in the following macro type both .htm and .txt files as just long strings of text, so I can equally use my .htm or .txt file version of a file like the OPs 2. KEEP DUPLICATE RECORDS
The macro below imports that text string, then does some simple string manipulation to get the text bits looking like .jpg or .png file names

Sub ListThe_jpgs_pngs()
Rem 1 get the entire documant as a long text string in variable,  TotalDoc
Dim FileNum As Long: Let FileNum = FreeFile(1)    ' https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vba/language-reference-vba/articles/freefile-function    http://web.archive.org/web/20210914055920/https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/Language/Reference/User-Interface-Help/freefile-function
Dim PathAndFileName As String, TotalDoc As String
 Let PathAndFileName = ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" & "2. KEEP DUPLICATE RECORDS.htm" '
  Open PathAndFileName For Binary As #FileNum 'Open Route to data. Binary is a fundemental type data input...
    TotalDoc = Space(LOF(FileNum)) '....and wot recives it hs to be a string of exactly the right length
    Get #FileNum, , TotalDoc
  Close #FileNum
Rem 2 Our text stuff content
Dim OurStuffTxt As String, Strt As Long, Stp As Long
 Let Strt = InStr(1, TotalDoc, "
", vbBinaryCompare) + 25  '  +25 takes us to the end of  "
"
 Let Stp = InStr(Strt, TotalDoc, "
", vbBinaryCompare)
 Let OurStuffTxt = Mid(TotalDoc, Strt, Stp - Strt)
Rem 3 getting at the   .jpgs
Dim Pos_jpg As Long
'3a  The first position, if there is one.  If there isn't one then the next code line will return  0
 Let Pos_jpg = InStr(1, OurStuffTxt, ".jpg", vbBinaryCompare) '  from the start of out stuff text string , 1 , we look for a  .jpg
    Do While Pos_jpg <> 0  '  I will keep picking out the  file  names  as long as I find another
    '3b  if I have a  .jpg    , I will keep adding the  name  to a long string.  Each file name will be seperated by a  new line , ( which in VBA caan be represented in the text string by the two "invisible" characters   carriage return, vbCr  and  line feed, vbLf   - these two thinbgs are a throw back to old days when in the text string you had something to tell the printer to go back to the left ( carriage return )  and  click the spindle up a line/ feed up a new line of paper,  line feed
     Let Strt = InStrRev(OurStuffTxt, "/", Pos_jpg, vbBinaryCompare) ' looking backwards from position  Pos_jpg  to get  at  like   in  stuff  like     ............%20RECORDS-Dateien/image004.jpg"
    Dim Jpgs As String
     Let Jpgs = Jpgs & Mid(OurStuffTxt, Strt + 1, (Pos_jpg + (4 - 1)) - Strt) & vbCr & vbLf   '  A bit of string manipulatzion to get the  jpg  file name text   then add a bit to give the next line for adding the next one
    
     Let Pos_jpg = InStr(Pos_jpg + 4, OurStuffTxt, ".jpg", vbBinaryCompare) '  i trx again to find the next  .jpg   if there is one.  This is similar to the code line  looking for the first  .jpg     The difference is that  I start looking at the position of the last one so as not to find one that I already considered
    Loop ' While Pos_jpg <> 0
 MsgBox prompt:=".jpg names in string" & vbCr & vbLf & vbCr & vbLf & Jpgs
 Debug.Print ".jpg names in string" & vbCr & vbLf & vbCr & vbLf & Jpgs & vbCr & vbLf & vbCr & vbLf   '  same output again in  Immediate window  ( Ctrl+g  to get it up when looking in VB editor )  add a couple of lines to seperate it from the next  png section

Rem 4 getting at the   .pngs
Dim Pos_png As Long
'4a
 Let Pos_png = InStr(1, OurStuffTxt, ".png", vbBinaryCompare) '
    Do While Pos_png <> 0  '
    '4b
     Let Strt = InStrRev(OurStuffTxt, "/", Pos_png, vbBinaryCompare)
    Dim Pngs As String
     Let Pngs = Pngs & Mid(OurStuffTxt, Strt + 1, (Pos_png + (4 - 1)) - Strt) & vbCr & vbLf   '
    
     Let Pos_png = InStr(Pos_png + 4, OurStuffTxt, ".png", vbBinaryCompare) '  i trx again to find the next  .jpg   if there is one.  This is similar to the code line  looking for the first  .jpg     The difference is that  I start looking at the position of the last one so as not to find one that I already considered
    Loop ' While Pos_png <> 0
 MsgBox prompt:=".png names in string" & vbCr & vbLf & vbCr & vbLf & Pngs
 Debug.Print ".png names in string" & vbCr & vbLf & vbCr & vbLf & Pngs

End Sub
