Re: $$Excel-Macros$$ List of text files with data to Excel.
At the risk of sounding like a rookie, which I am in regards to VBA, where within what I have would this need to be placed in order for it to proccess the proper file. Also, you stated that I need to have the full paths as in your example. The files do not always have a suffix on them. If I write the code before it goes to the shop, then it would have a .out on the end. If it is a file that the operator saved from his machine, then it would be blank.

The data will be of various lengths but the format will look like N1O8214(CUT RH MAG4). There may oy may not be spaces in this row. The first column would be the file name, the second column would be the O word from the first N row, in this case 8214. The third row would be the comment in the brakets, in this case CUT RH MAG4. I have some experience with macros and basic programming but have very little experience with file data extracting and parsing. Thanks -- ------ Some important links for excel users: 1.
