Lists and masks
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 #. |
Lists and masks
Chip Pearson has some code for opening a text file and reading it in.
http://www.cpearson.com/excel/imptext.htm 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: http://www.cpearson.com/excel/FirstLast.htm You can see what kind of contortions he went through just to get a few fields.
