change the file format of a text file.
I need to abstract data from a text file, but if the file extension is
".log", I need to change it to ".txt". I can only think of doing this by first opening "ABC.log" (in the background), upon detection of a .log extension, will use "Save As.. ABC.txt this was what I did manually at first, but I need to speed up as there are going to be tens of files with .log extension to be converted.. can anyone help? |

Hello GeneWan, You can do this more easily by using the Name statement. Once your fil is closed use the following in your VBA code... Name filename.log As filename.txt Sincerely, Leith Ros -- Leith Ros ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Leith Ross's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...fo&userid=1846 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread.php?threadid=54573 |

Hi Leith,
Would this create a new copy or does it overwrite the original file? My intention is to save it as a new file with the similar filename.
