Excel copy cell values X times with increasing numbers in the end - excel

Question

I have a similar task as in there:
Copy value N times in Excel
But mine is a bit more complex.
So, I have this kind of sheet:
A B
dog-1.txt 3
cat-1.txt 2
rat-1.txt 4
cow-1.txt 1
The final result needs to be the following:
A
dog-1.txt
dog-2.txt
dog-3.txt
cat-1.txt
cat-2.txt
rat-1.txt
rat-2.txt
rat-3.txt
rat-4.txt
cow-1.txt
As you see it doesn't only multiply the cell content X times taken from column B, but it also increases the number in file name the same number of times with 1 step increase.
How could I achieve that?

Answer 1

Try the following (tried and tested):
Sub Extend()
Dim Rng As Range, Cell As Range
Dim WS As Worksheet, NewCell As Range
Dim Dict As Object, NewStr As String
Set WS = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1") 'Modify as necessary.
Set Rng = WS.Range("A1:A5") 'Modify as necessary.
Set Dict = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
For Each Cell In Rng
If Not Dict.Exists(Cell.Value) Then
Dict.Add Cell.Value, Cell.Offset(0, 1).Value
End If
Next Cell
Set NewCell = WS.Range("C1") 'Modify as necessary.
For Each Key In Dict
For Iter = 1 To CLng(Dict(Key))
NewStr = "-" & Iter & ".txt"
NewStr = Mid(Key, 1, InStrRev(Key, "-") - 1) & NewStr
NewCell.Value = NewStr
Set NewCell = NewCell.Offset(1, 0)
Next Iter
Next Key
End Sub
Screenshot (after running):
The logic here is to get each name from the first column, store it as a dictionary key, then get the value beside it and store that that as the key-value. We then iterate inside each of the dictionary's keys, where we use the key-value as the upperbound of the iteration. During each iteration, we modify the string to change its number to the "current digit" of the iteration.
We choose C1 as the initial target cell. Every iteration, we offset it one (1) row below to accommodate the new/next iteration.
Let us know if this helps.

Answer 2

Tested , is this what u wanted :) ? (Working fine in my system)
Sub teststs()
Dim erange As Range
Dim lrow As Integer
Dim cnt As Integer
Dim rnt As Integer
Dim str As String
Dim lrow2 As Integer
With ActiveSheet
lrow = .Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row ' finding the last row
For Each erange In .Range("A1:A" & lrow) ' loop though each each cell in the A column
cnt = erange.Offset(0, 1).Value
rnt = Mid(erange.Value, InStr(erange.Value, "-") + 1, 1)
For i = 1 To cnt 'Looping to cnt times
With Sheets("Sheet2")
lrow2 = .Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row + 1
str = Replace(erange.Value, rnt, i, InStr(erange.Value, "-") + 1)
.Range("A" & lrow2).Value = Left(erange.Value, InStr(erange.Value, "-")) & str
End With
Next i
Next erange
End With
End Sub
