Default working with large text files

Hello.

I have a text file which has over 65536 rows.

I'd like to import the whole thing into Excel... multiple sheets is fine.

So, I need to put the first 65k+ (or half, it doesn't matter) rows on one
sheet, and the rest on another. I could do that manually, easy enough, but
it will need to be done again, with data that will change, etc.

To do that programatically, I could open the file and walk through reading
and placing the lines.

My question is if anyone has a good suggestion as to how to do that more
quickly than reading through over 65k lines individually... a method to read
half of the file in on one sheet, and the second half of the file in on
another sheet. I think it's safe to assume, for this purpose, that it will
never have more rows than in two sheets.

Thanks.
Mark
