Macro to open text files and copy their contents.
Hi all, Is there a way for a Macro to open a text file, then copy it's contents to a spreadsheet and name the tab so it matches the name of the text file? Then repeat this for 200+ text files in the same folder? I thought I saw a solution here a while ago but I couldn't find it. Thanks, Art

Here is my attempt.
Note:
The help file for the FileSystemObject says that "readall" wastes
memory resources on large files.
There must be sufficient blank sheets in the workbook.
The text added to the worksheet includes some of the line feed characters.
(using Dana DeLouis's idea for the Split function)

Art,
You are welcome. The feedback is appreciated.
I am curious as to what method you are using to place
the Text file text onto the worksheet?

I counted my chickens before they had all hatched.
The Macro worked for the first tab - copied the data from the text file and
copied it to the correct tab, but then it didn't copy the rest of the data
from the remaining text files. It did, however, rename the tabs properly.
The part I commented out must be the part that copies the data from the text
file to the remaining tabs.
Any idea how I can get it to work?

Art,
If you are using xl2000 or earlier than there is a limit of ~5460 items
that can be transposed. That means if there are more than that many
lines in any of the text files the code won't work.
Assuming that is the problem, I have modifed the code and show it below.
If it still throws an error then change the line...
"If lngLines < 5460 Then"
-to-
"If lngLines < 1 Then"
If that doesn't work, then I give up. <g>

Here's the error message:

Thanks Jim.
I'm using Excel 2003.
I didn't try "If lngLines < 1 Then" because the Macro really messed up excel
It took a really long time to save a file, then I saw very odd behaviour. I
suspect it was the memory issue. I have 480MB of RAM but I think it wasn't
enough.
I may give it a try at work, where I have more RAM
Thanks again for your efforts.

Try this version instead. Hardly any Ram required.
It worked for me on folders with 39 text files.
Note that "Option Compare Text" is added at the very top of
the module. This allows all case versions of ".txt" to be used.

Curiosity got the better of me.
I tried it and...............it was brilliant!!
I ran the Macro on 268 text files and they are now happily copied to my
spreadsheet/workbook.
Jim, this is a big time saver.
Thank you very much,
