Here is the situation, I am using Elcel XP on a Windows XP machine. I have a spreadsheet that lists all of the files in a directory. It starts in cell B3. This list is text files that I have to convert to excel files. The problem is that the file names change regulary and so does the number of files. I need to get a macro that will open and convert each file, then save it under the same name but as a .xls file.
Here is what I got by recording a macro. Workbooks.OpenText FileName:="C:\File1010704.txt", Origin:=437, _ StartRow:=1, DataType:=xlDelimited, TextQualifier:=xlDoubleQuote, _ ConsecutiveDelimiter:=False, Tab:=True, Semicolon:=False, Comma:=False _ , Space:=False, Other:=False, FieldInfo:=Array(Array(1, 1), Array(2, 1), _ Array(3, 1), Array(4, 1), Array(5, 1), Array(6, 1), Array(7, 1), Array(8, 1), Array(9, 1), _ Array(10, 1), Array(11, 1), Array(12, 1), Array(13, 1), Array(14, 1), Array(15, 1), Array( _ 16, 1)), TrailingMinusNumbers:=True ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs FileName:="C:\File1010704.xls", FileFormat:= _ xlNormal, Password:="", WriteResPassword:="", ReadOnlyRecommended:=False _ , CreateBackup:=False This will open and convert the file corectly and save it but only for that file and since the names change, and the number of fiels cahnges, this woun't work right. I need to get it so that instead of opening the specific file listed that it goes through my list of files and does this process to each of them. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I know how to record macros and do basic stuff but this is a little out of my league. Thanks for any help, Mike |
