Angela: Can you post you log file on savefile.com? In this case it will be
easier to write a macro that opens the log file and place the data into the
worksheet rather than take the imported data from the worksheet and convert
it to your format. the imported file got split into two columns which make
the macro harder to write. I also need to see the column spacing and any
tabs (or other special characters) that may of been changed when the file got
imported into excel.

Hi,

File is at link: http://www.savefile.com/files/2029405
File contains sample of below required and also sample of text file
since I was unable to align column
headers here & things were looking wierd.


I have a folder containing system generated log files around 10000.
Each has a detail file also & it is tiresome to complie all from
detail in one sheet. I think I can get same from these log files
instead.
These are five line files starting at start of file & ending at ----
end----. Sample is in sheet "Sample Text File".


I want to compile a log sheet in excel of such multiple files placed
in a folder. I should be able to browse to the folder & select all
the
files. The script will cycle through all the files and get the below
required in an excel file.
Below are the requirement:


In second line, after "LOG."date of file is mentioned [Example:
20080901].
Required format of date is dd-mmm-yyyy (01-SEP-2008)


In third line, detect fifteen len number [Example: 000001096300001]
Required is V0963001 (remove first 6 from left, add alphabet
"V"(upper
case) to the left, remove 2 zeros at 11th & 12th position and combine
remaining two from right forming V0963001


In third line, detect two ten len numbers [Example: 0004291833 to
0004292832]
Required is "000429183300" and "000429283299".
Add "00" to first number & add "99" to second number from right.


Excel log sheet format is in sheet "Log Sheet".
(Sort ascending "Start#")


A macro solution would be much appreciated.


Thx.
