Read a single column text file
Looking for a fast easy way to efficiently read a text file into a Exce worksheet. The text file is a single column of real numbers. Size o the text file can be 20,000+ lines long. I want to read in the tex file and place into column B starting at row 7. The text file an Excel workbook are in the same directory. The size (length) of tex file will vary from run to run, but usually around 20,000 lines i length.

Would any ideas here help? The file "C:\junk.txt" would be your text file.

Read a single column text file
Just some added info: this doesn't work in Excel 97 or earlier. The
ability to import directly into a worksheet was added in Excel 2000. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy Dana DeLouis wrote in message ... Would any ideas here help?
