How to read Text File in Excel via VBA

[Rish!On]

I am a new VBA programmer. I know how to pull an entire text file into an Excel Spreadsheet, but I only want specific information from the text file not the entire text file. What I have is about 25 text files stored in a folder, let's say C:\test.

Each file is named by a property address as follows:

• 209 MAIN ST.txt
• 213 MAIN ST.txt
• 111 ELM ST.txt
• 2356 WOOD AVE.txt

On the 11th row of each file is as follows: Property Address:209 MAIN ST
On the 31st row of each file is as follows: Total Value:30500

What I would like to do is read each file located in the "C:\test folder and write a record (row) into a single Excel Spreadsheet for each property. I would like the Excel Spreadsheet to look as follows once completed. Note the 1st row below is a header row that needs to be generated by the code.

Property Address Total Value

• 209 MAIN ST 30500
• 213 MAIN ST 60700
• 111 ELM ST 20400
• 2356 WOOD AVE 20900

Can I read a header list (in a spreadsheet, text file, or hard coded in the code) which I would prefer the spreadsheet or text file method, write the header row in A1 then B1.

Next read the 25 text files and search based on the header info written above (Property Address & Total Value) and write the appropriate to the single spreadsheet. The 11th row of the First text file value written in cell A2, then read the 31st row of the First text file write the value in cell B2, then loop to the Second text file and values from The 11th row of the Second text file value written in cell A3, then read the 31st row of the Second text file write the value in cell B3, so on and so forth until the last text file is read and the last record is written. I know this is elementary to most, but I'm a beginner programmer and sure could use the help. Can any one help.

Ok, I have a Routine that will read a user defined folder via an InputBox and get a list of all the files in that folder. Next I pass that info to a Routine that Reads the Full Text

files into individual Excel spreadsheets, so I've made some progress.
My problems left to resolve:
1. I want to read into one single spreadsheet not 25 (i.e. 25 text files into a single spreadsheet)
2. I want 1 header line in the one spreadsheet
3. I want only select info out of each text file not the entire text file.

Can I read the 11th line in each of the text file and import ONLY the text behind the semicolon?
For example, the 11th line in each file is as follows:
Property Address:209 MAIN ST
I only want to import "209 MAIN ST" from the 11th line in each text file and place the first entry in A2 of the Excel Spreadsheet, then read the next file and place that

Property Address in Cell A3 until all text files are read. Can anyone help or direct me to a group that can. Code is listed below. Keep in mind that since the code is snippets,

it still need some clean up.

First, you wrote semicolon, but typed a colon (. I'm guessing your sample is correct. And if you have a key value in your text file, you could use that key instead of
counting records. (Counting records is fine if there's no other way--but if someone edits a single file and deletes/inserts a line, then the code will break down pretty fast. I'd

believe the key (as long as it's unique???).) And since you're running this from excel, you don't need to create another instance of excel. You can just have another

workbook open in that same instance. And you can read a text file using "Open xxx For Input As ###" and read each line looking for what you want. And there's lots of ways

to get the list of .txt files from a single folder. I used a different one from yours.

If this seems to make sense, then how about this:

Option Explicit
Sub testme()

Dim myFiles() As String
Dim fCtr As Long
Dim myFile As String
Dim myPath As String
Dim wkbk As Workbook
Dim wks As Worksheet

'change to point at the folder to check
myPath = "c:\my documents\excel"
If Right(myPath, 1) <> "\" Then
myPath = myPath & "\"
End If

myFile = Dir(myPath & "*.txt")
If myFile = "" Then
MsgBox "no files found"
Exit Sub
End If

'get the list of files
fCtr = 0
Do While myFile <> ""
fCtr = fCtr + 1
ReDim Preserve myFiles(1 To fCtr)
myFiles(fCtr) = myFile
myFile = Dir()
Loop

If fCtr > 0 Then
Set wks = Workbooks.Add(1).Worksheets(1)
wks.Range("a1").Resize(1, 3).Value _
= Array("Property Address", "Total Value", "FileName")

For fCtr = LBound(myFiles) To UBound(myFiles)
Call DoTheWork(myPath & myFiles(fCtr), wks)
Next fCtr

wks.UsedRange.Columns.AutoFit
End If

End Sub
Sub DoTheWork(myFileName As String, wks As Worksheet)

Dim myNumber As Long
Dim myLine As String
Dim FileNum As Long
Dim oRow As Long
Dim FoundAddr As Boolean
Dim FoundTot As Boolean
Dim Str1 As String
Dim Str2 As String

Str1 = LCase("Property Address:")
Str2 = LCase("Total Value:")

With wks
oRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row + 1
End With

FoundAddr = False
FoundTot = False

FileNum = FreeFile
Close FileNum
Open myFileName For Input As FileNum
wks.Cells(oRow, "C").Value = myFileName
Do While Not EOF(FileNum)
Line Input #FileNum, myLine
If LCase(Left(myLine, Len(Str1))) = Str1 Then
wks.Cells(oRow, "A").Value = Trim(Mid(myLine, Len(Str1) + 1))
FoundAddr = True
ElseIf LCase(Left(myLine, Len(Str2))) = Str2 Then
wks.Cells(oRow, "B").Value = Trim(Mid(myLine, Len(Str2) + 1))
FoundTot = True
Exit Do 'no need to contine reading the file
End If
Loop

If FoundAddr = False Then
wks.Cells(oRow, "A").Value = "**Error**"
End If
If FoundTot = False Then
wks.Cells(oRow, "B").Value = "**Error**"
End If

Close FileNum

End Sub

[Leanne]

Thanks a million. It is a colon, my bad. Your code makes more sense and runs fine, but I'm returning **Error** in both cases. Again, I new to VBA and programming but i can step thru your code, see how it work, and follow it fairly well. Below is a sample of one of the text files that I running your code against. It the 14th line down for Str1 and the 34th line down for Str2. Can you help? Thanks again for your help in advance.

[Hollyn]

I pasted your sample data into a text file and saved it.

I got this out:

• Property Address Total Value FileName
• **Error** **Error** c:\my documents\excel\README.TXT
• 205 MAIN ST 8100 c:\my documents\excel\Edit3.txt
• **Error** **Error** c:\my documents\excel\test.txt
• **Error** **Error** c:\my documents\excel\spacedelim.txt

Just guesses. You did change the folder name: myPath = "c:\my documents\excel". Do you have any lines with leading spaces. If yes, you could clean them up in your favorite text editor or just do it in code:

Do While Not EOF(FileNum)
Line Input #FileNum, myLine
If LCase(Left(Trim(myLine), Len(Str1))) = Str1 Then '<---
wks.Cells(oRow, "A").Value = Trim(Mid(myLine, Len(Str1) + 1))
FoundAddr = True
ElseIf LCase(Left(Trim(myLine), Len(Str2))) = Str2 Then '<---
wks.Cells(oRow, "B").Value = Trim(Mid(myLine, Len(Str2) + 1))
FoundTot = True
Exit Do 'no need to contine reading the file
End If
Loop

(notice the addition of Trim() in 2 spots.) (I'm guessing that there's something else in that text file that's difficult to see/notice.)

[QUENBY]

I know the problem, but not the solution. The leading spaces are causing me a problem in the text files. I also took out the Lower Case option; although, I'm not sure if that

was part of my problem or not. As you can see below, I padded Str1 with the leading spaces and it worked fine, but Str2 still returned **Error**.

'Str1 = LCase("Property Address:")
'Str2 = LCase("Total Value:")
Str1 = (" Property Address:")
Str2 = ("Total Value:")

Also note in my Do While Loop I also took out the LCase option.

Do While Not EOF(FileNum)
Line Input #FileNum, myLine
'If LCase(Left(myLine, Len(Str1))) = Str1 Then
If Left(myLine, Len(Str1)) = Str1 Then
wks.Cells(oRow, "A").Value = Trim(Mid(myLine, Len(Str1) +
1))
FoundAddr = True
'ElseIf LCase(Left(myLine, Len(Str2))) = Str2 Then
ElseIf (Left(myLine, Len(Str2))) = Str2 Then
wks.Cells(oRow, "B").Value = Trim(Mid(myLine, Len(Str2) +
1))
FoundTot = True
Exit Do 'no need to contine reading the file
End If
Loop

Is there a way to strip out or not consider the leading blank spaces. Thanks again for your help. This application is going to cut my old manual processing time down from about 5 days to less than 1 day. Thanks

I'm slow close now. I've added alot including some input boxes that will be used later on in the application. It is picking up the property address and the Total Value but not

the other items that i have added. Below is my code and the results:

There were a bunch of "exit do"'s that said to leave the loop as soon as that record was found. If you know that one of those keys is always last, you can exit after you find
that. It should make processing a little faster--but with small files, it probably won't be noticeable. And instead of using several boolean values, I just prepopulated the row

with **Error**'s. Then the real data will overwrite it if found. (makes it a little simpler. (I didn't think of it until I logged off yesterday.)
