MAKE A EXCEL LOG SHEET FROM TEXT FILES (10000+ FILEs)
 

Hi,


I have a folder containing system generated log files around 10000.
Each has a detail file also & it is tiresome to complie all from
detail in one sheet. I think I can get same from these log files
instead.
These are five line files starting at start of file & ending at ----
end----. Below is a sample.

Start of file
Report:VOORD.LOG.20080901.1621 Start:01.09.2008 17:38 End:01.09.2008
17:45 01.09.2008
000001096300001 Order: 0200 Pack Gen.: 0200 Pack 0004291833 to
0004292832 Gen.Vou: 100000 20080901
Message:O.K.

I want to compile a log sheet in excel of such multiple files placed
in a folder. I should be able to browse to the folder & select all the
files. The script will cycle through all the files and get the below
required in an excel file.
Below are the requirement:


In second line, after "LOG."date of file is mentioned [Example:
20080901].
Required format of date is dd-mmm-yyyy (01-SEP-2008)

In third line, detect fifteen len number [Example: 000001096300001]
Required is V0963001 (remove first 6 from left, add alphabet "V"(upper
case) to the left, remove 2 zeros at 11th & 12th position and combine
remaining two from right forming V0963001

In third line, detect two ten len numbers [Example: 0004291833 to
0004292832]
Required is "000429183300" and "000429283299".
Add "00" to first number & add "99" to second number from right.

Excel log sheet format is as follows:
(Sort ascending "Start#")

S# File# Base# Start# End#
Quantity VG# Date
1. V0963001 000429183300 000429283299
100000 01-SEP-2008
2. and so on for rest of the files.
3. and so on for rest of the files.
4. and so on for rest of the files.


A macro solution would be much appreciated.
Thx.
