Setting The Delimiter Character for a .Csv file with Excel
Here is my own code for reading CSV. It can be modified to change the comma
to the character &H6. I suspect you may be reading binary data, if so the
code need significant modifications. binary data has to be read one
character at a time and the file has to opened in binary mode.
Sub GetCSVData()
Const ForReading = 1, ForWriting = 2, ForAppending = 3
Const TristateUseDefault = -2, TristateTrue = -1, TristateFalse = 0
Set fsread = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'default folder
Folder = "C:\temp\test"
Newfolder = Application.GetOpenFilename("CSV (*.csv),*.csv")
If Not Newfolder = False Then
Folder = ""
Do While InStr(Newfolder, "\") 0
Folder = Folder & Left(Newfolder, InStr(Newfolder, "\"))
Newfolder = Mid(Newfolder, InStr(Newfolder, "\") + 1)
Loop
'remove last character which is a \
Folder = Left(Folder, Len(Folder) - 1)
End If
LastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
RowCount = LastRow + 1
First = True
Do
If First = True Then
filename = Dir(Folder & "\*.csv")
First = False
Else
filename = Dir()
End If
If filename < "" Then
'open files
Set fread = fsread.GetFile(Folder & "\" & filename)
Set tsread = fread.OpenAsTextStream(ForReading, TristateUseDefault)
Do While tsread.atendofstream = False
InputLine = tsread.ReadLine
'extract comma seperated data
ColumnCount = 1
Do While InputLine < ""
CommaPosition = InStr(InputLine, ",")
If CommaPosition 0 Then
Data = Trim(Left(InputLine, CommaPosition - 1))
InputLine = Mid(InputLine, CommaPosition + 1)
Else
Data = Trim(InputLine)
InputLine = ""
End If
Cells(RowCount, ColumnCount) = Data
ColumnCount = ColumnCount + 1
Loop
RowCount = RowCount + 1
Loop
tsread.Close
End If
Loop
End Sub

I am trying to import a file delimited with a hex value of 06. When using
Excel's 2007 Text Import Wizard (step 2 of 3), a new delimiter character can
be entered. How do I enter a hex value into this field?
Thanks,
Gary
