Hi guys, I need help, i have a code to convert text files into excel,
however the problem is that the text files are many and can vary in number. The code i have is repetitive and it contains a code to convert each of the files, so for instance i have about 295 text files i need the same number of code to convert them, i believe that this is not efficient and i need a simple code that will convert all as they have a common names. A sample of the code is below. Sub Convert() ChDir "C:\Documents and Settings\aayobami\Desktop\br by br convert" Workbooks.OpenText Filename:= _ "C:\Documents and Settings\aayobami\Desktop\br by br convert \BSH_100_06nov09.txt", _ Origin:=437, StartRow:=1, DataType:=xlFixedWidth, FieldInfo:=Array( _ Array(0, 1), Array(10, 1), Array(50, 1), Array(80, 1), Array (110, 1)), _ TrailingMinusNumbers:=True Cells.Select Selection.ColumnWidth = 8.29 Cells.EntireColumn.AutoFit ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _ "C:\Documents and Settings\aayobami\Desktop\br by br convert \BSH_100_06nov09.xls", _ FileFormat:=xlExcel8, Password:="", WriteResPassword:="", _ ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, CreateBackup:=False ActiveWindow.Close Workbooks.OpenText Filename:= _ "C:\Documents and Settings\aayobami\Desktop\br by br convert \BSH_101_06nov09.txt", _ Origin:=437, StartRow:=1, DataType:=xlFixedWidth, FieldInfo:=Array( _ Array(0, 1), Array(10, 1), Array(50, 1), Array(80, 1), Array (110, 1)), _ TrailingMinusNumbers:=True Cells.Select Selection.ColumnWidth = 8.29 Cells.EntireColumn.AutoFit ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _ "C:\Documents and Settings\aayobami\Desktop\br by br convert \BSH_101_06nov09.xls", _ FileFormat:=xlExcel8, Password:="", WriteResPassword:="", _ ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, CreateBackup:=False ActiveWindow.Close Workbooks.OpenText Filename:= _ "C:\Documents and Settings\aayobami\Desktop\br by br convert \BSH_102_06nov09.txt", _ Origin:=437, StartRow:=1, DataType:=xlFixedWidth, FieldInfo:=Array( _ Array(0, 1), Array(10, 1), Array(50, 1), Array(80, 1), Array (110, 1)), _ TrailingMinusNumbers:=True Cells.Select Selection.ColumnWidth = 8.29 Cells.EntireColumn.AutoFit ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _ "C:\Documents and Settings\aayobami\Desktop\br by br convert \BSH_102_06nov09.xls", _ FileFormat:=xlExcel8, Password:="", WriteResPassword:="", _ ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, CreateBackup:=False ActiveWindow.Close Workbooks.OpenText Filename:= _ "C:\Documents and Settings\aayobami\Desktop\br by br convert \BSH_103_06nov09.txt", _ Origin:=437, StartRow:=1, DataType:=xlFixedWidth, FieldInfo:=Array( _ Array(0, 1), Array(10, 1), Array(50, 1), Array(80, 1), Array (110, 1)), _ TrailingMinusNumbers:=True Cells.Select Selection.ColumnWidth = 8.29 Cells.EntireColumn.AutoFit ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _ "C:\Documents and Settings\aayobami\Desktop\br by br convert \BSH_103_06nov09.xls", _ FileFormat:=xlExcel8, Password:="", WriteResPassword:="", _ ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, CreateBackup:=False ActiveWindow.Close Workbooks.OpenText Filename:= _ "C:\Documents and Settings\aayobami\Desktop\br by br convert \BSH_104_06nov09.txt", _ Origin:=437, StartRow:=1, DataType:=xlFixedWidth, FieldInfo:=Array( _ Array(0, 1), Array(10, 1), Array(50, 1), Array(80, 1), Array (110, 1)), _ TrailingMinusNumbers:=True Cells.Select Selection.ColumnWidth = 8.29 Cells.EntireColumn.AutoFit ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _ "C:\Documents and Settings\aayobami\Desktop\br by br convert \BSH_104_06nov09.xls", _ FileFormat:=xlExcel8, Password:="", WriteResPassword:="", _ ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, CreateBackup:=False ActiveWindow.Close Workbooks.OpenText Filename:= _ "C:\Documents and Settings\aayobami\Desktop\br by br convert \BSH_105_06nov09.txt", _ Origin:=437, StartRow:=1, DataType:=xlFixedWidth, FieldInfo:=Array( _ Array(0, 1), Array(10, 1), Array(50, 1), Array(80, 1), Array (110, 1)), _ TrailingMinusNumbers:=True Cells.Select Selection.ColumnWidth = 8.29 Cells.EntireColumn.AutoFit ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _ "C:\Documents and Settings\aayobami\Desktop\br by br convert \BSH_105_06nov09.xls", _ FileFormat:=xlExcel8, Password:="", WriteResPassword:="", _ ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, CreateBackup:=False ActiveWindow.Close Please help |
