Hi all
I'm writing my first Excel/VBA macro, and having some trouble doing a certain function. I know this is probably really basic stuff, but in all my searches I haven't been able to find any documentation on deleting text file lines. The data in the text file that I have to import into excel is in the following format: # aaaaaaa bbbbbb ccccc # aaaaaaa bbbbbb ccccc # aaaaaaa bbbbbb ccccc # aaaaaaa bbbbbb ccccc Aaaaaaa bbbbbb ccccc Aaaaaaa bbbbbb ccccc Aaaaaaa bbbbbb ccccc Aaaaaaa bbbbbb ccccc # aaaaaaa bbbbbb ccccc # aaaaaaa bbbbbb ccccc Aaaaaaa bbbbbb ccccc Aaaaaaa bbbbbb ccccc The lines that begin with '#' are comments, and don't need to be imported into the worksheet. The rest of the lines do. How do I go about writing a do-while loop that will delete the comment lines? I know how to program in Java pretty well, so I know the logic behind this process, I just don't know the vba language. Not that it makes any difference, but the fields are tab delimited, so the file is displayed nicely in excel once it is imported. All I have left is deleting those comment lines, any help you guys can give me will be hugely appreciated. Thanks in advace, Roman |
