Save Worksheet as Text File
Hello,
I would like to be able to open a .txt file in Excel VBA using the Text Import Wizard. The file is Tab Delimited and used the "~" or "Other". Once open I want to be able to change some values in fields and then save it with the changes as a text file. Can anyone tell me how I would save the file as a .txt file with the changes I made? For some reason there are four blank columns at the beginning and I need to keep those in place when saving back to a text file. I used the macro record feature and the code to open the text file with the Import Wizard looks like: Workbooks.OpenText Filename:= _ "C:\leasepayment.txt" _ , Origin:=437, StartRow:=1, DataType:=xlDelimited, TextQualifier:= _ xlDoubleQuote, ConsecutiveDelimiter:=False, Tab:=True, Semicolon:=False, _ Comma:=False, Space:=False, Other:=True, OtherChar:="~", 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), Array(17, 1), Array(18, 1), Array(19, 1), Array(20, 1), _ Array(21, 1), Array(22, 1), Array(23, 1), Array(24, 1), Array(25, 1), Array(26, 1), Array( _ 27, 1), Array(28, 1), Array(29, 1), Array(30, 1), Array(31, 1), Array(32, 1), Array(33, 1), _ Array(34, 1), Array(35, 1), Array(36, 1), Array(37, 1), Array(38, 1), Array(39, 1), Array( _ 40, 1)), TrailingMinusNumbers:=True ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED!! THANKS! |

Maybe you could use a macro that writes your data:
Earl Kiosterud's Text Write program: www.smokeylake.com/excel (or directly: http://www.smokeylake.com/excel/text_write_program.htm) Chip Pearson's: http://www.cpearson.com/excel/imptext.htm J.E. McGimpsey's: http://www.mcgimpsey.com/excel/textfiles.html ====== Earl's may be sufficient right out of the box. He supports lots of options. sharonm wrote: Hello, I would like to be able to open a .txt file in Excel VBA using the Text Import Wizard. The file is Tab Delimited and used the "~" or "Other".
