If you record a macro when you open one of the .txt files, won't you see the
info that you need for your code?

Is there any way I can open a text file in the workbook that the
macros is running in. Everytime I try with my code it automatically
opens a new workbook. I have looked at other comments for other people
but none of them work because I have a datatype and fieldinfo.

This is my code to open a txt file

Dim UF As Variant
Dim SL As Variant
UF = Application.GetOpenFilename(FileFilter:="TXT Files(*.txt),*.txt",
Title:="log")

Workbooks.OpenText Filename:=UF, DataType:=xlFixedWidth,
FieldInfo:=Array(Array(0, 2))
