Rename attachments before saving

Gentlemen, I have the following problem. Every Monday, I receive from a system 12 emails, being them:

SIXTH:

MIPS_1
MIPS_2
MIPS_3
MIPS_4

SATURDAY:

MIPS_1
MIPS_2
MIPS_3
MIPS_4

DOMINGO:

MIPS_1
MIPS_2
MIPS_3
MIPS_4

And I need a way that I save these files to a computer directory, renaming them so that they don’t replace the current file. In some research, I got the following code:

Public Sub SaveAttachments()
Dim objOL As Outlook.Application
Dim objMsg As Outlook.MailItem 'Object
Dim objAttachments As Outlook.Attachments
Dim objSelection As Outlook.Selection
Dim i As Long
Dim lngCount As Long
Dim strFile As String
Dim strFolderpath As String
Dim strDeletedFiles As String
Dim f As Long
Dim NewName


'f = f + 1


' Get the path to your My Documents folder
strFolderpath = "C:\Users\brunoco\Desktop\Teste Macro MIPS"
On Error Resume Next

' Instantiate an Outlook Application object.
Set objOL = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")

' Get the collection of selected objects.
Set objSelection = objOL.ActiveExplorer.Selection

' Set the Attachment folder.
strFolderpath = "C:\Users\brunoco\Desktop\Teste Macro MIPS\"

' Check each selected item for attachments. If attachments exist,
' save them to the strFolderPath folder and strip them from the item.
For Each objMsg In objSelection

    ' This code only strips attachments from mail items.
    ' If objMsg.class=olMail Then
    ' Get the Attachments collection of the item.
    Set objAttachments = objMsg.Attachments
    lngCount = objAttachments.Count
    strDeletedFiles = ""

    If lngCount > 0 Then

        ' We need to use a count down loop for removing items
        ' from a collection. Otherwise, the loop counter gets
        ' confused and only every other item is removed.

        For i = lngCount To 1 Step -1
           For Each objAttachments In objMsg
            f = f + 1


            'If strSubject.Contains("VIDE") Then
            ' Save attachment before deleting from item.
            ' Get the file name.
            'strFile = Left(objAttachments.Item(i).Filename, Len(objAttachments.Item(i).Filename) - 4) + "_" + Right("00" + Trim(Str$(Day(Now))), 2) + "_" + Right("00" + Trim(Str$(Month(Now))), 2) + "_" + Right("0000" + Trim(Str$(Year(Now))), 4) + "_" + Right("00" + Trim(Str$(Hour(Now))), 2) + "_" + Right("00" + Trim(Str$(Minute(Now))), 2) + "_" + Right("00" + Trim(Str$(Second(Now))), 2) + Right((objAttachments.Item(i).Filename), 4)
            strFile = Left(objAttachments.Item(i).Filename, Len(objAttachments.Item(i).Filename) - 4) + "_" + Right((strSubject), 2) + Right((objAttachments.Item(i).Filename), 4)


            'If strSubject.Contains("VIDE") Then
            ' Combine with the path to the Temp folder.
            strFile = strFolderpath & strFile


            ' Save the attachment as a file.
            objAttachments.Item(i).SaveAsFile strFile

            ' Delete the attachment.
            'objAttachments.Item(i).Delete

            'write the save as path to a string to add to the message
            'check for html and use html tags in link
            If objMsg.BodyFormat <> olFormatHTML Then
                strDeletedFiles = strDeletedFiles & vbCrLf & "<file://" & strFile & ">"
            Else
                strDeletedFiles = strDeletedFiles & "<br>" & "<a href='file://" & _
                strFile & "'>" & strFile & "</a>"
            End If

            'Use the MsgBox command to troubleshoot. Remove it from the final code.
            'MsgBox strDeletedFiles
          Next


        Next i

        ' Adds the filename string to the message body and save it
        ' Check for HTML body
        If objMsg.BodyFormat <> olFormatHTML Then
            objMsg.Body = vbCrLf & "The file(s) were saved to " & strDeletedFiles & vbCrLf & objMsg.Body
        Else
            objMsg.HTMLBody = "<p>" & "The file(s) were saved to " & strDeletedFiles & "</p>" & objMsg.HTMLBody
        End If
        objMsg.Save
    End If
Next

ExitSub:

Set objAttachments = Nothing
Set objMsg = Nothing
Set objSelection = Nothing
Set objOL = Nothing
End Sub

It does correctly for the first day, but in the following, it replaces the file, invalidating what I need to do. I would like to rename to the following form:

SIXTH:

MIPS_1_SEX
MIPS_2_SEX
MIPS_3_SEX
MIPS_4_SEX

SATURDAY:

MIPS_1_SAB
MIPS_2_SAB
MIPS_3_SAB
MIPS_4_SAB

DOMINGO:

MIPS_1_DOM
MIPS_2_DOM
MIPS_3_DOM
MIPS_4_DOM

Thanks for your help!!!

He’s already using the . Saveas

You can use the following code to perform this string manipulation:

arquivo = objAttachments.Item(i).FileName
nome_arquivo = fso.GetBaseName(arquivo)
extensao_arquivo = Replace(arquivo, nome_arquivo, "")
                    
If arquivo Like ("*MIPS_*") Then
    If j = 3 Then
        k = k + 1
        j = 0
    End If
    strFile = nome_arquivo & "_" & arr(k) & extensao_arquivo
    j = j + 1

Else
    'strFile = arquivo
End If

If the Annex contains the word MIPS_ creates the files in order, otherwise saves only the name of the attached file.

Explanation

arquivo = objAttachments.Item(i).FileName is the name of the attachment, for example: "Filename.txt"
nome_arquivo = fso.GetBaseName(arquivo) is the file name without the extension, e.g.: "Filename"
extensao_arquivo = Replace(arquivo, nome_arquivo, "") is the file extension, e.g.: ". txt"
strFile = nome_arquivo & "_" & arr(k) & extensao_arquivo concatenates the final name of the file that will be saved, with some vector value arr. The index k vector incremented every time 4MIPS_ is saved.

Code

Public Sub SaveAttachments()
    Dim objOL As Outlook.Application
    Dim objMsg As Outlook.MailItem               'Object
    Dim objAttachments As Outlook.Attachments
