You could do that in Excel also using the same VB file system

Many thanks for replying. The data is collected from an instrument and
the settings cannot be changed. Therefore I cannot average 10 points as
suggested earlier.

What about using VB6 to extract the first 5000 numbers from the
textfile saving them in another textfile, then another 5000 numbers,
etc,etc....??
