Open a .csv file, parse text and display on more than one sheet
I think this will do what you want:
Public Sub DoTheImport()
Dim FName As Variant
Dim Sep As String
FName = Application.GetOpenFilename _
(filefilter:="Text Files(*.txt),*.txt,All Files (*.*),*.*")
If FName = False Then
MsgBox "You didn't select a file"
Exit Sub
End If
Sep = InputBox("Enter a single delimiter character.", _
"Import Text File")
ImportTextFile CStr(FName), Sep
End Sub
Public Sub ImportTextFile(FName As String, Sep As String)
Dim RowNdx As Long
Dim ColNdx As Integer
Dim TempVal As Variant
Dim WholeLine As String
Dim Pos As Integer
Dim NextPos As Integer
Dim SaveColNdx As Integer
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
'On Error GoTo EndMacro:
SaveColNdx = ActiveCell.Column
RowNdx = ActiveCell.Row
Open FName For Input Access Read As #1
While Not EOF(1)
Line Input #1, WholeLine
If Right(WholeLine, 1) < Sep Then
WholeLine = WholeLine & Sep
End If
ColNdx = SaveColNdx
Pos = 1
NextPos = InStr(Pos, WholeLine, Sep)
While NextPos = 1
TempVal = Mid(WholeLine, Pos, NextPos - Pos)
Cells(RowNdx, ColNdx).Value = TempVal
Pos = NextPos + 1
ColNdx = ColNdx + 1
NextPos = InStr(Pos, WholeLine, Sep)
Wend
RowNdx = RowNdx + 1
Wend
EndMacro:
On Error GoTo 0
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Close #1
End Sub

How would you open a .csv file (comma seperated values),
parse (using line returns and so forth),
and put in different worksheets in Excel programatically.
I usually use C#, but I guess any language would do.
Thanks in Advance! (-:
