RE: Reading in text files

Hi Vlad, thanks for your query. A couple of lines might be an underestimation. First of all, have a look at the code generated by the macro recorder when you record yourself importing text and using text to columns, it's not that complicated. However, for a more formal walkthrough have a look at this link:

There are several different ways to throw text around in Excel and I think using the basic import tool is the way you should go, rather than manipulating the file system object. Whichever way you decide to go, it's an extremely useful thing to be able to automate and you'll find a use for it in many different contexts.

Hope this helps,

Anthony
