Can I drop items from Application.ActiveExplorer.Selection? - vba

Question

I take emails a user selects and then save them as text files, with the name of the text file as a portion of the subject line and then move that email to another folder in Outlook.
I managed to get all that working, but I also want the code to leave anything with two trip numbers in the subject line (Signified as Trip#XXXXXXXXX) alone and not move it, instead moving to the next selected email.
Exit Sub is a hard stop and I want to loop through the rest of the selection. Next oMail is something I'm only allowed one of and need at the end and GoTo that location skipping the rest of the code doesn't help.
Should I be using something other than For Each oMail In Application.ActiveExplorer.Selection?
The whole thing is as follows:
Sub SaveSentEmailAsParsedSubjectAndMove()
Dim oMail As Outlook.MailItem
'Folder path and file name
Dim strDesktop As String, strFileName As String, strFolderPath As String
'Four letters at the start of a trip/PAPS/PARS and the number itself

Answer 1

You are already dropping items from the selection with
If intTrips > 1 Then
but later you move all mail in the selection.
You could move validated mail immediately.
Sub MoveValidatedMail()
Dim oMail As mailItem
'Four letters at the start of a trip/PAPS/PARS and the number itself
Dim strSCAC As String, strTripNumber As String
'Trip number counter
Dim strSubject As String, strSubject2 As String
Dim intTrips As Integer, intTrips1 As Integer, intTrips2 As Integer
'Move vaidated mail one at a time,
' within this code, rather than bulk move all mail
Dim ns As namespace
Dim moveToFolder As Folder
Dim objItem As Object
Set ns = GetNamespace("MAPI")
'Define path to the target folder
' If there is a typo or missing folder there would be an error.
' Bypass this one error only.
On Error Resume Next
Set moveToFolder = ns.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderSentMail).folders("Backup")
On Error GoTo 0
If moveToFolder Is Nothing Then
' Handle the bypassed error, if any
MsgBox "Target folder not found!", vbOKOnly + vbExclamation, "Move Macro Error"
Exit Sub
End If
If moveToFolder.DefaultItemType <> olMailItem Then
MsgBox "DefaultItemType <> olMailItem!", vbOKOnly + vbExclamation, "Move Macro Error"
Exit Sub
End If
If ActiveExplorer.Selection.count = 0 Then
MsgBox "No files selected"
Exit Sub
End If
For Each objItem In ActiveExplorer.Selection
If objItem.Class = olMail Then
Set oMail = objItem
'Gets the subject line of the mail item
strSubject = oMail.subject
'Gets the SCAC code from the subject line,
' the first four characters counting from left
strSCAC = strSubject
strSCAC = Left(strSCAC, 4)
'Counter. Stops process and returns error
' if there is more than one trip number detected.
strSubject2 = oMail.subject
strSubject2 = Replace(strSubject2, "#", "")
intTrips1 = Len(strSubject)
intTrips2 = Len(strSubject2)
intTrips = intTrips1 - intTrips2
If intTrips > 1 Then
MsgBox "Mail not moved " & oMail.subject
Else
' Move validated mail
objItem.move moveToFolder
MsgBox oMail.subject & " moved to " & moveToFolder
End If
End If
Set oMail = Nothing
Next objItem
Set oMail = Nothing
Set objItem = Nothing
Set moveToFolder = Nothing
Set ns = Nothing
End Sub

Answer 2

You could just use like
If oMail.Subject like "*TRIP*TRIP*" Then
