Jacob, i think you need to Dim one more variable, right.
Dim intFile, inttemp As Integer

That worked for me.

Instead of using Line input statement use Input statement which will read one
field at a time.
Input #intFile, F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, F6, F7, F8

OR split that to an array as below. Open a new workbook. Paste the macro and
try..


Sub Mac()
Dim intFile As Integer
Dim strData As String
Dim arrData As Variant
Dim lngRow As Long, lngCol As Long
intFile = FreeFile

On Error Resume Next

Open "c:\comma.txt" For Input As #intFile
Line Input #intFile, strData
arrData = Split(strData, ",")
For intTemp = 0 To UBound(arrData) Step 8
lngRow = lngRow + 1
For lngCol = 1 To 8
Cells(lngRow, lngCol) = arrData(intTemp + lngCol - 1)
Next
Next
Close #intFile

End Sub

Hi,
I have a print out of a weighing scale.
It has outputted in serial text - comma delimited.
Bag Weight, Month, Day, Year, Hours, Minutes, Seconds, extra comma then
repeats.
How can I import into xl such a text file so that every 8th comma denotes a
new row?
Example:
14.1230001,6,21,2009,19,46,51,,14.1230001,6,21,200 9,19,46,53,,14.1230001,6,21,2009,19,46,54,,

Every 8th coma denotes a new row.

Help.
Regards
Bill
