How about this non-looping solution then?

Sub ImportText()
Dim R As Range
Dim X As Long, FileNum As Long
Dim TotalFile As String, Lines() As String
FileNum = FreeFile
Open "d:\temp\ExcelTest.txt" For Binary As #FileNum
TotalFile = Space(LOF(FileNum))
Get #FileNum, , TotalFile
Close #FileNum
Lines = Split(TotalFile, ",,")
Set R = ActiveSheet.Cells(2, "A").Resize(UBound(Lines) + 1)
R = WorksheetFunction.Transpose(Lines)
R.TextToColumns R(1), xlDelimited, xlTextQualifierNone, Comma:=True
End Sub

I like this line input + split

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
