I would like to find all the unique words in a text file and store them
in an Excel 2010 spreadsheet. I am looking for a reasonably
efficient method or algorithm to achieve this.

I was thinking, how about save all the words that begin with "A"
in the A column, all the "B" words get placed in the B column,
etc...

Also, each word should only be stored ONCE in the spreadsheet,
regardless of lowercase, uppercase, mixed, etc. So, if my text
file contains "apple", "APPLE", or "aPPle", only one instance of
"apple" should appear under the A column.

I'd appreciate anything to help me get started. Thank you.

Robert

the following code stores all unique words in lowercase in column A.
You can sort and move the words if you want:

Public objFSO As New Filesystemobject

Sub Test()
Dim strPath As String
Dim strFN As String
Dim objReadFile As Object, myDic As Object
Dim strText As String
Dim varChr As Variant, varTmp As Variant, varOut As Variant
Dim i As Long

'Modify path and file name
strPath = "C:\Users\Claus\Desktop\"
strFN = "Test.txt"
varChr = Array(",", ".", ":", "-", "_", "!", "?", "(", ")", Chr(10))
Set myDic = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")

Set objReadFile = objFSO.opentextfile _
(strPath & strFN, forreading, tristatefalse)

Do While objReadFile.atendofstream < True
strText = strText & objReadFile.readline & " "
Loop
objReadFile.Close

For i = LBound(varChr) To UBound(varChr)
strText = Replace(strText, varChr(i), "")
Next

strText = Left(strText, Len(strText) - 1)
varTmp = Split(strText, " ")
For i = LBound(varTmp) To UBound(varTmp)
varTmp(i) = LCase(varTmp(i))
Next

For i = LBound(varTmp) To UBound(varTmp)
myDic(varTmp(i)) = varTmp(i)
Next
varOut = myDic.Items
Range("A1").Resize(UBound(varOut) + 1) = Application.Transpose(varOut)
End Sub

you don't need to set each word in the array to LCase. You can set the
whole string to LCase at once:

strText = Application.Trim(strText)
strText = LCase(strText)
varTmp = Split(strText, " ")

BTW, I never knew about this "Scripting Dictionary".
Is this an object that can store an entire library of words?

If so, do you think I would be better off storing all of my
unique words in the dictionary object, rather than saving them
in columns on the spreadsheet?

If I am able to store all my unique words in a memory object,
I could then iterate through the object and output all the words
to a text file. That might even be better for me.

the Scripting.Dictionary is my favorite to create unique items.

With

For i = LBound(varTmp) To UBound(varTmp)
myDic(varTmp(i)) = varTmp(i)
Next
varOut = myDic.Items

you have all your unique words in varOut.

You need to set a project 'Reference' to the Scripting runtime for
using this 'early binding' method! This is okay for development but my
*preference* is to use 'late binding' for final release...

In the General Declarations section of a standard module:
Public oFSO As Object

In the main startup procedure (ie: "Auto_Open") or an "InitGlobals"
procedure called by your main startup procedure...

Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

...to make oFSO available to your project during runtime.

In the shutdown procedure (ie: "Auto_Close") release the memory...

Set oFSO = Nothing

Thanks Claus. This is a very good start. It worked
nicely for small input files. I will probably need to
make some modifications so it takes numeric words
into considersation, such as "10", "100", etc...

But, it works great so far.

Hi Robert,

Hi Claus. That was awesome code. It worked for a few
of my tests. However, in one of my data files there were
no words that started with the letter "Z". So, that column
should have been empty, but numeric values were entered
in that column instead.

How about just enter any numbers into column AA?
