Thanks, Witek,

I'm a little hung up the next few days, but I'll test it as soon as
possible...

Hi guys,

Does any of you have a way of reading the first 10 lines of a code
module?
To be specific, I need to read the first 10 lines of the code in the
module
called 'Module1' into a string-variable.

Currently, I'm doing this by first exporting the module, and then reading
it
back in, as a plain text-file.
But, I'm hoping to avoid the external exporting and reading, if possible?

Anyone has a way of reading those code lines directly into a variable?

Thanks,

CE

Microsoft Visual Basic for Application Extensibility library

For Each c In vbp.VBComponents
If c.Name = "Module1" Then
Dim cm As CodeModule
Set cm = c.CodeModule
Dim code_text As String
code_text = cm.Lines(1, WorksheetFunction.Min(10, cm.CountOfLines))
Debug.Print code_text
End If
Next c
End Sub
