Default Need help to read data from a text file

Hi,

I have a data which is poorly organized on a text file (it was taken
out from a very old computer when we did lab experiments). However, I
can you this. There is a 2 conseqent rows of data (2nd row of data is
not important) in which I only want the code to read the 5th number of
1st row and insert that value in excel. The value consists of about 2
digits and 12 decimal places. I would appreciate if anyone can make a
code to read from the text file and copy the 5th number from this file
and insert it in excel vertically. I don't have a very good VB
experience but i have come across some good VB programmers and I would
like to give them the opportunity to solve this problem. I can send
this text file to you if you want to try. Please give me your email
address and I'll send it to you.
