Chip Pearson has some code for opening a text file and reading it in.

But you'll have to come up with the rules for parsing your data. Chip has an
example of extracting first/last names from a cell on a worksheet at:

You can see what kind of contortions he went through just to get a few fields.

Good luck,

Does any one have information on creating masks for
searches on lists. I always run across .TXT lists and need
to import them into Excel to create a table for mail
merges. Now these lists have addresses and telephone
numbers and are not necessarily delimited by any specific
character. I would like to create a macro or wizard that
can delimit these lists...I.E a mask for email address, a
mask for an international telephone #.
