Looping a Macro
 

Hi there folks. I have a macro that will import .txt files into excel03. I
recorded it using the "record macro" feature. So, the original text file is
in the macro code.

Sub DirectoryClean()
'
' DirectoryClean Macro
' Macro recorded 6/12/2008 by PE GWINN
'
' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+g
'
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
"TEXT;C:\Documents and
Settings\Phil\Desktop\directory\directory.txt", _
Destination:=Range("A1"))
.Name = "aerobics"
.FieldNames = True
.RowNumbers = False
.FillAdjacentFormulas = False
.PreserveFormatting = True
.RefreshOnFileOpen = False
.RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCells
.SavePassword = False
.SaveData = True
.AdjustColumnWidth = True
.RefreshPeriod = 0
.TextFilePromptOnRefresh = False
.TextFilePlatform = 437
.TextFileStartRow = 1
.TextFileParseType = xlFixedWidth
.TextFileTextQualifier = xlTextQualifierDoubleQuote
.TextFileConsecutiveDelimiter = False
.TextFileTabDelimiter = True
.TextFileSemicolonDelimiter = False
.TextFileCommaDelimiter = False
.TextFileSpaceDelimiter = False
.TextFileColumnDataTypes = Array(1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1)
.TextFileFixedColumnWidths = Array(10, 7, 4, 9, 9)
.TextFileTrailingMinusNumbers = True
.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
End With
End Sub

What I want to do is have the macro loop in that directory and import each
text file into a new worksheet tab. I have an answer on the tip of my tongue
but it just wont gel.

Thanks a lot.
Phil

Hi,

This script will loop through your files in your dir and only deal with .txt
files.

You need to insert your code to create a newtab on each pass and insert your
data.

If you have any probs you can get me at



Dim mypath As String
Dim myfile As String

'mypath = "C:\Documents and Settings\Phil\Desktop\directory\"
mypath = "c:\"
myfile = Dir(mypath)
Do While myfile < ""
If Mid(myfile, Len(myfile) - 3, Len(myfile)) = ".txt" Then
'Your Code Here
MsgBox myfile
End If
myfile = Dir
Loop

Hi, Thank you for the response. I am not a programmer per se. Rather I am a
quick learner. I just have a clarification question.

In your code, there is a space for my code. Do I insert the code that was
generated via the macro recorder there?

I really appreciate the response since it will help me import about 150
files which will then allow me to categorise about 15000 total files. Thank
you again.

Phil
