Default Importing Text file
Hi All,
I'm using this code (extracted from Microsoft site), this working fine,
but this importing my text file in one column, so my text file has 7 columns

Field1 - length 26
Field2 - length 15
Field3 - length 14
Field4 - length 21
Field5 - length 18
Field6 - length 3
Field7 - length 17
So I need these columns separated
Thanks for your help
Here the code:

Sub LargeFileImport()

'Dimension Variables
Dim ResultStr As String
Dim FileName As String
Dim FileNum As Integer
Dim Counter As Double
Dim Filt As String
Dim FilterIndex As Integer
Dim Titre As String

Filt = "Text File (*.txt),*.txt," & _
"Fichiers CSV (*.csv),*.csv,"

'Ask User for File's Name
FileName = Application.GetOpenFilename _
(FileFilter:=Filt, _
FilterIndex:=FilterIndex, _
Title:=Titre)
'FileName = InputBox("Please enter the Text File's name, e.g. test.txt")
'Check for no entry
If FileName = "" Then End
'Get Next Available File Handle Number
FileNum = FreeFile()
'Open Text File For Input
Open FileName For Input As #FileNum
'Turn Screen Updating Off
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
'Create A New WorkBook With One Worksheet In It
Workbooks.Add template:=xlWorksheet
'Set The Counter to 1
Counter = 1
'Loop Until the End Of File Is Reached
Do While Seek(FileNum) <= LOF(FileNum)
'Display Importing Row Number On Status Bar
Application.StatusBar = "Importing Row " & _
Counter & " of text file " & FileName
'Store One Line Of Text From File To Variable
Line Input #FileNum, ResultStr
'Store Variable Data Into Active Cell
If Left(ResultStr, 1) = "=" Then
ActiveCell.Value = "'" & ResultStr
Else
ActiveCell.Value = ResultStr
End If

'For Excel versions before Excel 97, change 65536 to 16384
If ActiveCell.Row = 65536 Then
'If On The Last Row Then Add A New Sheet
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets.Add
Else
'If Not The Last Row Then Go One Cell Down
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
End If
'Increment the Counter By 1
Counter = Counter + 1
'Start Again At Top Of 'Do While' Statement
Loop
'Close The Open Text File
Close
'Remove Message From Status Bar
Application.StatusBar = False

End Sub

Default Importing Text file
You simply need to add RowtoColumns in 2 places in the code. Also Rows.Count
will give you the corrrect number of rows depending on the version of Excel
you are using.

Columns("A:A").TextToColumns _
Destination:=Range("A1"), _
DataType:=xlDelimited, _
ConsecutiveDelimiter:=False, _
Comma:=True


Sub LargeFileImport()

'Dimension Variables

"Fichiers CSV (*.csv),*.csv,"

'Ask User for File's Name
FileName = Application.GetOpenFilename _
(FileFilter:=Filt, _
FilterIndex:=FilterIndex, _
Title:=Titre)
'FileName = InputBox("Please enter the Text File's name, e.g. test.txt")
'Check for no entry
If FileName = "" Then End
'Get Next Available File Handle Number
FileNum = FreeFile()
'Open Text File For Input
Open FileName For Input As #FileNum
'Turn Screen Updating Off
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
'Create A New WorkBook With One Worksheet In It

'Set The Counter to 1

'Store One Line Of Text From File To Variable

'Store Variable Data Into Active Cell
If Left(ResultStr, 1) = "=" Then
ActiveCell.Value = "'" & ResultStr
Else
ActiveCell.Value = ResultStr
End If

If ActiveCell.Row = Rows.Count Then

I already put it in the code. I included the code on top so you would
easily see the new code that I added.

Field1 - length 26
Field2 - length 15
Field3 - length 14
Field4 - length 21
Field5 - length 18
Field6 - length 3
Field7 - length 17
So I need these columns separated
Thanks for your help
Here the code:

Sub LargeFileImport()

'Dimension Variables
Dim ResultStr As String
Dim FileName As String
Dim FileNum As Integer
Dim Counter As Double
Dim Filt As String
Dim FilterIndex As Integer
Dim Titre As String

Filt = "Text File (*.txt),*.txt," & _
"Fichiers CSV (*.csv),*.csv,"

'Ask User for File's Name
FileName = Application.GetOpenFilename _
(FileFilter:=Filt, _
FilterIndex:=FilterIndex, _
Title:=Titre)
'FileName = InputBox("Please enter the Text File's name, e.g. test.txt")
'Check for no entry
If FileName = "" Then End
'Get Next Available File Handle Number
FileNum = FreeFile()
'Open Text File For Input
Open FileName For Input As #FileNum
'Turn Screen Updating Off
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
'Create A New WorkBook With One Worksheet In It
Workbooks.Add template:=xlWorksheet
'Set The Counter to 1
Counter = 1
'Loop Until the End Of File Is Reached
Do While Seek(FileNum) <= LOF(FileNum)
'Display Importing Row Number On Status Bar
Application.StatusBar = "Importing Row " & _
Counter & " of text file " & FileName
'Store One Line Of Text From File To Variable
Line Input #FileNum, ResultStr
'Store Variable Data Into Active Cell
If Left(ResultStr, 1) = "=" Then
ActiveCell.Value = "'" & ResultStr
Else
ActiveCell.Value = ResultStr
End If

'For Excel versions before Excel 97, change 65536 to 16384
If ActiveCell.Row = 65536 Then
'If On The Last Row Then Add A New Sheet
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets.Add
Else
'If Not The Last Row Then Go One Cell Down
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
End If
'Increment the Counter By 1
Counter = Counter + 1
'Start Again At Top Of 'Do While' Statement
Loop
'Close The Open Text File
Close
'Remove Message From Status Bar
Application.StatusBar = False

End Sub
