Is it possible to write code that will take a 100 page txt file that has
several different fixed width sections and send them to different
worksheets. The Text file looks something like this:



Report for 1-19-2004
Section A
xxx xxxx xx xxxxxx xxxx xxxxxx xxx
xxx xxxx xx xxxxxx xxxx xxxxxx xxx
xxx xxxx xx xxxxxx xxxx xxxxxx xxx
end of section

Report for 1-19-2004
Section B
xxxxxx xxxx xxxx xxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxx xxxx xxxx xxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxx xxxx xxxx xxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxx xxxx xxxx xxxxxxxxxx
end of section

Report for 1-19-2004
Section C
xxx xxx xxx xxxxxx xxxx xxxxxxx xxx xxx
xxx xxx xxx xxxxxx xxxx xxxxxxx xxx xxx
xxx xxx xxx xxxxxx xxxx xxxxxxx xxx xxx
page break

end of section

Yes, you would just look for the word Section in the line you read in to
separate the sections.

You would want to do a sequential read:
