Modify text file before import to Excel
 

Hi,



New to this Excel programming. Any help would be highly appreciated.

For my case, I want to modified a line of text in a text file befor
import to excel. Example, a text file contain this line.


&Age=20&Address= 1%20Earl%20Street&Country=Australia

Now I want to remove these words, "Name=", "Email=", "Age=", "Address=
and "Country=", from this text file using macro (VB) before importin
it. Any guideline?

My text file only contain one line, if you notice, this is actually th
ATT file return by HTML form.

Thanks in advance

Why not just import the file and use the change command in Excel? You can
record the macro of those actions and it is a lot simplier.

It might be easier to import the line and then do the replace using the
built in replace command.
