If this is really a lengthy Excel document, are you sure you want all the
text files?

The sub below should do what you want.......Steve Yandl



Sub MakeTxtFiles()

Const ForWriting = 2

Dim rngBase As Range
Dim rowCount As Integer
Dim fNum As Integer

Set rngBase = ActiveSheet.UsedRange
rowCount = rngBase.Rows.Count

Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

If Not fso.FolderExists("C:\Notes") Then
fso.CreateFolder ("C:\Notes")
End If

For fNum = 1 To (rowCount - 1)
Set newNote = fso.OpenTextFile("C:\Notes\Text File " _
& CStr(fNum) & ".txt", ForWriting, True, 0)
newNote.WriteLine "Subject:"
newNote.WriteLine Cells(fNum + 1, 1).Value
newNote.WriteLine ""
newNote.WriteLine "Body:"
newNote.WriteLine Cells(fNum + 1, 2).Value
newNote.WriteLine ""
newNote.WriteLine "Date:"
newNote.WriteLine Cells(fNum + 1, 3).Value
newNote.Close
Next fNum

Set fso = Nothing

End Sub

I'm trying to pull some text out of a lengthy excel document to do some
text
mining on. I'd like to have a macro (or another solution that would work)
to
pull the headers out of each line (record) and save each line as a text
file.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

So, if I had an excel (.csv file) file that captured email content
(someone
in the past did this manually) like this:

Subject,Body,Date
Lunch Plans,Do you have lunch plans?,4/5/2006
What's Up?,What are you up to today?,4/5/2006

Would be converted to 2 .txt files like this:

Text File 1:
Subject:
Lunch Plans

Body:
Do you have Lunch Plans?

Date:
4/5/2006

Text File 2:
Subject:
What's Up?

Body:
What are you up to today?

Date:
4/5/2006
