Hi Experts,
Hoping you in good health. I have the following question:
I have a text file which is approximately 50 to 70 pages long. It contains a
specific word €œBSS€� again and again, what I want to do is to design an excel
sheet which takes this text file as input and finds out this required word
(which is BSS), copy the next 20 words after BSS and paste it into excel
sheet in cell B4. It should search the text file again and find the word BSS,
and copies next 20 words in cell B5 and so on.

Thanks for your support

Try this:

Sub ReadBSS()

Dim sFname As String
Dim lFnum As Long
Dim lRowCnt As Long
Dim sLine As String
Dim lBssFound As Long

sFname = "C:\tester.txt"
lFnum = FreeFile

Open sFname For Input As lFnum

Do While Not EOF(lFnum)
Line Input #lFnum, sLine

If sLine = "BSS" Then
lBssFound = 1
End If

If lBssFound 1 Then
lRowCnt = lRowCnt + 1
Sheet1.Cells(lRowCnt, 1).Value = sLine
End If

If lBssFound = 21 Then
lBssFound = 0
End If

If lBssFound = 1 Then
lBssFound = lBssFound + 1
End If

Loop

End Sub

some quetion:

1.what do you mean by "word"? for example, "BSSABC" is the specific word €œBSS€�
or not?
2.if next BSS appear while copying the next 20 words after BSS, how should this
BSS be treated?

I assumed that each "word" was on its own line and there was nothing else on
that line. If you think it will help, post a small sample of the text
that's in the file. If there's more on the "BSS" line than just that,
you'll have to adjust this line:

If sLine = "BSS" Then

to something like

If Instr(1, sLine, "BSS") 1 Then

which will find BSS anywhere in that line. Or, if it's always at the start

If Left$(sLine, 3) = "BSS" Then

Thanks a lot for the replies.

it seems very diffrent one from your first post to me.
if the format is uniform, it could be written more simple and smart way.
but try this, if you don't mind.

Sub testdo()
Dim exflname
Dim i As Long, k As Long
Dim filenum1
Dim textline As String
Dim Words
Dim findword As Boolean
Const word1 = "Distribution"
Const word2 = "Mean"

MsgBox "select data file"

exflname = Application.GetOpenFilename

If exflname = False Then
MsgBox "file not selected"
Exit Sub
End If

filenum1 = FreeFile()
Open exflname For Input As #filenum1
k = 1
Do While Not EOF(filenum1)
Line Input #1, textline
Words = Getwords(textline)
i = LBound(Words)
Do While (i <= UBound(Words))
If findspword(Words(i), word1) Then
i = i + 1
If findspword(Words(i), word2) Then
i = i + 1
Do While (i <= UBound(Words))
If IsNumeric(Words(i)) Then
Cells(k, "b") = Words(i)
k = k + 1
Exit Do
End If
i = i + 1
Loop
End If
End If
i = i + 1

Loop
Close #filenum1
