Ok, I have a Routine that will read a user defined folder via an
InputBox and get a list of all the files in that folder.

Next I pass that info to a Routine that Reads the Full Text files into
individual Excel spreadsheets, so I've made some progress.

My problems left to resolve:
1. I want to read into one single spreadsheet not 25 (i.e. 25 text
files into a single spreadsheet)
2. I want 1 header line in the one spreadsheet
3. I want only select info out of each text file not the entire text
file.

Can I read the 11th line in each of the text file and import ONLY the
text behind the semicolon?
For example, the 11th line in each file is as follows:
Property Address:209 MAIN ST
I only want to import "209 MAIN ST" from the 11th line in each text
file and place the first entry in A2 of the Excel Spreadsheet, then
read the next file and place that Property Address in Cell A3 until all
text files are read.

Can anyone help or direct me to a group that can.

Code is listed below. Keep in mind that since the code is snippets, it
still need some clean up.

Thanks in advance.
