Append Text At The Beginning Of TXT File

Nov 28, 2013

I have a simple code that should insert the text at the beginning of the text file (the text file already has some text in it). When i use the following code, it just appends the line to the end of the text. I need it to append it to the start of the text file.

Code:

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim file As String
lastrow = Range("D65536").End(xlUp).Row - 4
file = "C:Users11126923Desktop est.txt"
Open file For Append As #1
f = "hi test3"
Print #1, f
Close
End Sub

Append To Text File

Apr 19, 2007

I would like to append data from Columns A-F to a text file. The key thing is that the data needs to be tab separated just as it would be if I simply highlighted it and copied it and the pasted it into the text file.

Append Cell Text To File Name

Oct 15, 2007

I have a filename written in cell A1- eg dog.jpg - and I want to insert a set character string just before the .jpg part. ie so it becomes dog_test.jpg in B1. How would you guys do it? I've been thinking of really long-winded methods that'd use several cells, but I reckon there might be a cleverer way!

I want to copy a bunch of data from a text file and paste in into an excel worksheet I have open. I want to paste it at the end but I don't know how large the data range will be each time so I can't select that size range. I have this code so far:

If FileToOpen <> False
Then
Workbooks.Open FileToOpen
Else
Exit Sub
End If

Cells.Select
Selection.Cut

Windows("myfile.xls").Activate

Range("A1").Select 'THIS IS THE OLD CODE FOR THE FIRST IMPORT
ActiveSheet.Paste 'I NEED TO REPLACE THIS WITH THE CODE FOR APPENDING
'OR PASTING AT THE END OF MY RANGE

Combine Text Files And Append File Name Details To Each Record?

Apr 24, 2013

I receive 24,000 text files once a month that need to be combined into one csv/txt file and/or spreadsheet(tab).

About a year ago I posted a thread on the same topic which received a fantastic response from jindon that worked great

Unfortunately, the format in which the text files are ouput has changed, as has the filename layout. The files are now output with filenames such as:

(lic#, company name, displaying # records found, date, type.txt)

40298827_Windham Professionals Inc _Displaying records 1 through 10 of 100_041813_AGENTS.txt
40298827_Windham Professionals Inc _Displaying records 11 through 20 of 100_041813_AGENTS.txt
40303726_HEARTLAND CREDIT RESTORATION INC _EANF_041913_AGENTS.txt

(files with EANF in the filename have no records inside them and can be skipped)

While the contents of each file look like this: (see attached text file reference)

I would like to combine the contents of the text files while appending the lic#, company name and date from the filenames to each record so the resulting file looks like this:

40305196 Audette , Anthony Sales Provider 40298827 Windham Professionals Inc 041813
40313800 Burritt , Kimberly Sales Provider 40298827 Windham Professionals Inc 041813

As far as I can tell jindon's code is fine except the regex expression needs to be modified to handle the new layout, however that is far beyond me.

Move Text From End Of String To Beginning

Jun 28, 2013

I have a column which contains a series of alphanumeric characters some start with the alpha characters and others end with them.

As an example ABS1234, 1234ABS, 12k34AB needs to be ABS1234, ABS1234, AB12k34. The number of alpha characters at the end will be a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 3. Is there some way that I can move the Alpha characters, at the end, so that they are always at the beginning of the string?

Append Multiple Csv Files Into Master File?

Jan 13, 2010

I have about 100 csv files of the same format that I would like to append into a single master file. Order is not important for appending (I can do a column sort later) I can do copying and pasting, but this will take a long time especially because I will creating more master files from completely different CSVs in the future. Is there a faster way to append CSV files?

VLOOKUP Using Text Lookup Field Beginning With Zero?

Mar 13, 2014

Having difficulty with a VLOOKUP that uses a text lookup field beginning with 0. For all the other numbers formatted as text I use this function:

[Code].....

For the one that begins with a 0 I have to use this function:

[Code] .....

This is a problem for me, because I need to be able to copy the top function to all of my sheets without having to edit the ones where the lookup field begins with 0. I could alter my VBA to specifically search for those cases and adjust, but that seems unneccesary.

More info - The beginning column of the Table Array (i.e. the lookup field I'm searching for) is a function of another cell; both cells are formatted as text. Here is the function:

[Code] ....

I have to put a single quote in front of the lookup field, so that "064" is not displayed as "64" even if the cell is formatted as text. I have another instance where I am looking up "'791" and it works fine with the first VLOOKUP above. Even if I remove the single quote this will work. However, once there is a leading zero the function no longer works and I must use the second VLOOKUP listed above.

Append Text To Existing Cell Text

Apr 1, 2008

I've got a sheet in which I want a drop down box, to ADD the value* to a cell, not overwriting its current value!

*The name of the selected option in the drop down box, the names are located in Map3!A1-n, I set the drop down box to display the related number in a cell next to it.

The cell would contain some text, and by selecting something in the drop down box, it would add the name of that option to the already existing value in the cell.

So if at first the cell's value is


Hi! I 'm Mark,

and you select the following option from the dropdown box


I 'm from Holland!

the cell would end with the value


Hi! I 'm Mark, I'm from Holland!

This would probably work with a macro, already made a start with it but I couldn't get it to ADD the value instead of overwriting it.

Append Cell Text To Textbox

Aug 11, 2007

I write a daily status report that adds my daily comment to a cell with previous text in it. I then paste it in three other cells. This process is slow and tedious since the text in the cell is now becoming extremely long due to organizational and managerial restraints of the existing format. I use cut and paste and manual enter, a alt + enter, to space new comment. I would like to be able to enter the text in a cell and have it update the comment cell with the text in it and to update the text box. I have reviewed the forum and have yet to find the answer and use of how else to pose the questions.

Replace Some Spaces & Append Text

Aug 30, 2007

I need help looking at text in a cell that has [] around it such as [big red trucks] and copy that text to the end of the cell and replace the "space' between the words and add '+' signs so the result looks like [big red trucks] [big+red+trucks].

example:

This is what the cell looks like before

[big red trucks] cost 5000 in store

This is what the cell needs to look like after

[big red trucks] cost 5000 in store[big+reg+trucks]

there may be additional text after the ']', I need the phrase with the + signs copied to the end of the cell

Excel 2010 :: Macro To Copy 3 Cell Values And Append To Existing Database File

May 14, 2014

I'd like my macro (in an Excel 2010 workbook) to copy values from three worksheet cells and append them to an existing Access or SQL database file -- without having to leave my Excel spreadsheet or open any other programs. The database file simply needs to be appended. Keeping a running list. That file isn't being used for anything else, we can set it up however is necessary to do this.

For example, Excel cells A1, A2, and A3. Representing Job Name, Job Number and Job Total.

how make VBA do this(in SIMPLE terms)? Or give me a link of where to look or what to search for? I understand VBA but not Access or SQL.

Append Text In One Cell And Delete Duplicate Rows

Jul 14, 2009

I have data that covers multiple rows that I need to merge into one row.

Header:| InvoiceNumber | Type | Name
Row1: | 1000 | Payor | Doe, John
Row2: | 1000 | Payor | Smith, Mary
Row3:| 1000 | Payee| Jones, Henry
Row4:| 1000 | Payee | Jones, Bob

I need to get those four example rows down to one row such as:

Header | InvoiceNumber | Payor | Payee
Row1: | 1000 | Doe, John & Smith, Mary | Jones, Henry & Jones, Bob

The number of payor/payee can vary between 1 and several. I need some way to loop through and keep appending the names in one cell separated by a "&". And then deleting all the duplicate rows (based on InvoiceNumber).

How To Append Sequential Number To A Text String To Avoid Duplicates

Jun 12, 2014

Is there a formula that will add a number, in sequence, to the end of a text string to avoid duplicates?

I need to generate an ID number for transactions. This ID number is the Account Code-Last Two #s of the Year-Unique 3-Digit Number. So for instance, 5022-14-001 means it is the first transaction from account 5022 in the year 2014.

Column A has the Account Codes. Column B has the date of the transaction in MM/DD/YYYY format. So far the formula I have is:

=CONCATENATE(A1,"-",RIGHT(YEAR(B2),2),"-",TEXT(????,"000"))

With ???? being some function or set of nesting functions I need to create the sequential number. It needs to be able to say "Okay, this is the third instance of there being a 5022-14, so we need to stick -003 at the end of this."

Additionally, this "003" needs to be frozen, so if we change how the sheet is sorted and the line item moves around, it will still always be "003".

Looping, Open Text File, Copy Text, Close Text File

Sep 18, 2009

I have an existing spreadsheet with a column of strings (actually VIN numbers). These numbers correllate to a bunch of text files, that can exist in one of three folders (UsernameDesktop1, 2, or 3) on my desktop. What I need the macro to do is:

1) get the filename from A2 (A1 is a heading row)
2) Find the appropriate text file in one of the three folders
3) Put the folder name into I2
4) Scan the text file for some strings, and copy some data that follows those strings into J2:O2 (I can handle programming this)
5) Close the text file
6) repeat above for the remainder of filenames (about 1800 files)

Insert Text To One File - Remove Text From Equivalent Column In Another File?

Aug 13, 2013

Got a slight problem; I am making a "worker-plan", where you should be able to write a name on one file and have it updated (removed) from the equivalent columns on another file automatically. Here's an example with two separate projects:

Project 1 before and after changes:
Attachment 257366
Attachment 257367

Project 2 before and after changes:
Attachment 257368
Attachment 257369

You can see here how I intended it to work. When one worker is moved from Project 1 to Project 2, that worker should also be removed from those weeks in Project 1. The previous worker from Project 2 should also be removed from those weeks (in Project 2).

Are there any formulas that can make this work automatically? All week numbers will belong to the same columns in all files.

Edit: There are 30 files that should be syncronized, not just two.. I could also gather all files into one file with sheets, instead of having seperate files.
