Alright, here we go... I have no idea where to start because I am not
to familiar with excel vba programming. But let me try and explain what the situation is to the best of my ability. I have a page of addresses that was scanned and converted over to word with some image to text software. Then I got it into a text file and finally a csv file. Its in this format most of the time: Examples- Row 1 - ABEL, Mary-Fund Mutual Grp, Tec Clms Row 2 - Expert, PO Box 1621, Houston, TX 77054 Row 3 - P555-621-7474, F555-218-1998 Row 4 - ARLINGTON, Kyle-Full Ins Grp, Clms Row 5 - Expert, 2800 Post Oak Blvd, Houston, TX 77056 Row 6 - P664-621-7474, F665-218-1998 (the number of rows in between each address sometimes varies) and I need it in this format: Row 1 - ABEL, Mary-Fund Mutual Grp, Tec Clms Expert, PO Box 1621, Houston, TX 77054, P555-621-7474, F555-218-1998 Row 2 - ARLINGTON, Kyle-Full Ins Grp, Clms Expert, PO Box 3434, Houston, TX 77054 P664-621-7474, F665-218-1998 All one line and 8 columns. I figure it would be easiest to write a script that loops through the csv file and searches for a text that only has letter characters and all caps in the front of the row... which would be the Last Name field also which is always in the front. Then in between each it removes the "returns". I don't know if I was clear enough or if someone needs further clarification by all means... I am absolutely stuck and I really would appreciate any help or guidance on the situation! I have looked at other examples of looping a csv file... it seems pretty basic, but this to me is a little mind boggling. Thanks for any help!! -Matt P |
