Default Using a macro to import from another spreadsheet


I have a spreadsheet which needs to have some data extracted from it
the data manipulated and then the whole thing exported as a text file.

I have no problem with the second and third part of this but I a
struggling with the first part:

How does one use a macro to import columns from another spreadsheet
The problem is I don't want all of the columns, only some and no
necessarily in the order in which they are in the original sheet
something like this. I will write this in English so that I hope
explain what I want:

Dim startRow as integer
StartRow = 6
For rows = StartRow to 65536

If Column A is empty then finish

Move to First blank row of output sheet

Import Row X, Column A from Input Sheet
Move to Next Column
Import Row X, Column D from Input Sheet
Move to Next Column
Import Row X, Column B from input sheet
(etc....)

Repeat until all rows are done

The problem is I don't know how to import data from one workbook t
another when you don't know how many rows there are
