Splitting an identified range of spreadsheets to a new workbook with a new name - vba

Question

I've been trying to come up with a way to split a workbook into separate workbooks based on identified worksheets in the workbook.
For example:
Say I had a worksheet for every letter in the alphabet.
I would want to split worksheets A through C into a new workbook named "A through C."
D through I will go into a new workbook named "D through I."
etc...
My idea would be to first insert a worksheet that in column A names the new workbook it will become and Columns b through as many columns as there are will the names of the worksheets to be copied into the new workbook.
Does anyone have an idea of how to make a macro for this? I've tried myself but have been unsuccessful.
Thank you!
I found this Macro out there. Does anyone think it can be modified to work?
Sub Test()
Dim Sh As Worksheet
Dim Rng As Range
Dim c As Range
Dim List As New Collection
Dim Item As Variant
Dim WB As Workbook
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set Sh = Worksheets("Sheet1")
Set Rng = Sh.Range("A2:A" & Sh.Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Row)
On Error Resume Next
For Each c In Rng
List.Add c.Value, CStr(c.Value)
Next c
On Error GoTo 0
Set Rng = Sh.Range("A1:H" & Sh.Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Row)
For Each Item In List
Set WB = Workbooks.Add
Rng.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:=Item
Rng.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Copy WB.Worksheets(1).Range("A1")
Rng.AutoFilter
With WB
.SaveAs ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" & Item & ".xls"
.Close
End With
Next Item
Sh.Activate
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

The following code assumes you have your control sheet (named "Split Parameters") in the workbook containing the macro, and it is set out with the desired filenames in column A, and the sheets that you wish to copy into that file (from the ActiveWorkbook, which might, or might not, be the one containing the macro) listed in columns B, C, etc. Row 1 is assumed to be headings, and is therefore ignored.
Sub SplitBook()
Dim lastRow As Long
Dim LastColumn As Long
Dim srcWB As Workbook
Dim newWB As Workbook
Dim i As Long
Dim c As Long
Dim XPath As String
Dim newName As String
Dim sheetName As String
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Set srcWB = ActiveWorkbook
XPath = srcWB.Path
With ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Split Parameters")
lastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
For i = 2 To lastRow
'Take the first worksheet and create a new workbook
sheetName = .Cells(i, "B").Value
srcWB.Sheets(sheetName).Copy
Set newWB = ActiveWorkbook
'Now process all the other sheets that need to go into this workbook
LastColumn = .Cells(i, .Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
For c = 3 To LastColumn
sheetName = .Cells(i, c).Value
srcWB.Sheets(sheetname).Copy After:=newWB.Sheets(newWb.Sheets.Count)
Next
'Save the new workbook
newName = .Cells(i, "A").Value
newWB.SaveAs Filename:=xPath & "\" & newName & ".xls", FileFormat:=xlExcel8
newWB.Close False
Next
End With
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
