I want output in a spreadsheet like MS Excel like this
'52132205501000655 JAMES BOND CC34TYU '006039869 350000 -358300.51 0 19-04-2022 8300.51 1 DAY < ACCOUNT OVERDRAWN <= 90 DAYS
which is to say that until my program encounters a blank line it should read all the values and if it contains a delimiter(, in my case) split them and put them in consecutive rows. My code reads as
Sub ReadTextFileWithSeparators()
Dim StrLine As String
Dim FSO As New FileSystemObject
Dim TSO As Object
Dim StrLineElements As Variant
Dim RowIndex As Long
Dim ColIndex As Long
Dim Delimiter As String
Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set TSO = FSO.OpenTextFile("C:\temp\sample.txt")
Delimiter = ","
RowIndex = 1
Do While TSO.AtEndOfStream = False
StrLine = TSO.ReadLine
Do While StrLine <> vbNullString
StrLine = TSO.ReadLine
StrLineElements = Split(StrLine, Delimiter)
For ColIndex = LBound(StrLineElements) To UBound(StrLineElements)
Cells(RowIndex, ColIndex 1).Value = StrLineElements(ColIndex)
Next ColIndex
Loop
RowIndex = RowIndex 1
Loop
TSO.Close
Set TSO = Nothing
Set FSO = Nothing
End Sub
However i dont seem to get the desired output. Where i am doing wrong
CodePudding user response：
Please, test the next code. It uses arrays and should be very fast, processing only in memory. It assumes that all text file contains groups of four lines, separate by an empty line. It will return in separate cells for each file line. The processing result will be dropped in the active sheet, starting from "A1" (header included):
Sub ReadTextFile()
Dim textFileName As String, arrTxt, arrRet, arr4Lines, arrL, arrFin, colNo As Long
Dim i As Long, j As Long, L As Long, k As Long, kk As Long, n As Long, sep As String
textFileName = "C:\temp\sample.txt"
sep = vbCrLf 'ito be changed with vbCr or vbLf if the text file will not be split on the chosen line separator
arrTxt = Split(CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").OpenTextFile(textFileName, 1).ReadAll, sep)
If UBound(arrTxt) = 0 Then MsgBox "Strange line separator..." & vbCrLf & _
"Try replacing it with 'vbCr' or 'vbLf 'and run the code again.", vbInformation, _
"Separator change needed": Exit Sub
colNo = UBound(Split(arrTxt(2), ",")) 4 'the number of necessary columns in the final array (in a consistent txt file)
ReDim arrFin(1 To UBound(arrTxt) 5, 1 To colNo): kk = 1 'the final array to drop its content in the sheet
For i = 0 To UBound(arrTxt) Step 5
ReDim arr4Lines(UBound(Split(arrTxt(2), ",")) * 4) 'to be sure that it is enough space to place all split elements...
For j = 0 To 3
If left(arrTxt(i j), 1) = "=" Or arrTxt(i j) = "" Then Exit For 'for the ending file part
arrL = Split(arrTxt(i j), ",")
For L = 0 To UBound(arrL)
arr4Lines(k) = WorksheetFunction.Trim(arrL(L)): k = k 1 'place in the array all the line elements (separated by comma)
Next L
Next j
If k > 0 Then
ReDim Preserve arr4Lines(k - 1) 'keep only the loaded array elements
For n = 0 To k - 1
arrFin(kk, n 1) = arr4Lines(n) 'place the elements in the final array
Next n
kk = kk 1 'increment the final array row
End If
Erase arr4Lines: k = 0
Next i
'drop the processed array content at once and format a little the respective range:
With ActiveSheet.Range("A2").Resize(kk - 1, colNo)
.value = arrFin
.rows(1).Offset(-1) = Array("Column1", "Column2", "Column3", "Column4", "Column5", "Column6", _
"Column7", "Column8", "Column9", "Column10", "Column11", "Column12") 'place here the necessary headers
.EntireColumn.AutoFit
End With
