Description
This VB script will export all code objects (classes, forms, modules and worksheet macro) from an Excel file (can be .xlsm or .xlam) to flat files on your disk.
This way, you'll get a quick backup of your code and you'll be able to synchronize your code on a versioning platform like GitHub.
The script will start Excel (hidden way), open the specified file, process every code object and export them, one by one, in a \src\your_file.xlsm folder.
The src folder will be automatically created if needed and you'll find a sub-folder having the same name of your file (so you can have more than one exported file in the same src folder).
If your Excel file also contains a ribbon, the manifest (i.e. the xml of the ribbon) and custom icons will also be exported.
Install
Just get a copy of the .vbs script, perhaps the .cmd too (for your easiness) and save them in the same folder of your Excel application (containing the code you want to export).
Usage
Just edit the .cmd file and you'll see how it works: you just need to run the .vbs with one parameter, the name of your file.
