Default Copying rows from one file and pasting into a new file

Hello Mr. Ogilvy

Thank you so much! I hope you get back all of the karma
you generate!

Mr. Ogilvy, may I please ask about two more things?

Your code generates xls files with a row in it. I need
text files with the text displayed as a column [i.e. we
copy a row from the input file and paste it as a column in
the output file].

I tried to simply replace ".xls" by ".txt" in your code,
but it didn't help. May I please ask whether it would be
possible to change the code to do this?

I apologize about bringing up the second thing. I feel a
little as if you agreed to give me the little finger. If
this is not simple, please ignore it.

I have 800 files, each with C columns and R rows, that I
need to do this with. All of these files are in
c:\inputdata\ folder.
Each file is named 1.txt, 2.txt, ... T.txt

Would it be difficult to have the code open each of these
files in turn, run the algorithm and save row w from file
c:\inputdata\q.txt as c:\data\w_q.txt - a text file with
one column in it?

Thank you, Mr. Ogilvy

Warm Wishes


Stan
