Extract Data From Text File
Feb 10, 2012
My data looks like this - it's a text file that I import into Excel.
What I'm looking for is operations that require welding, as indicated by the "Weld:" in Row 61. If it is a weld operation, I want to know the time (121.705) and the Operator involved (Opr 2 - Row 64).
I'm simply using an IF statement in a loop to extract these specific cells:
Range("N2").Select
Do
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=IF(MID(RC[-13],11,5)=""Weld:"",LEFT(RC[-13],3),"""")"
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Loop Until IsEmpty(ActiveCell.Offset(0, -13))
Because I don't know how to write "real" code, it does a similar loop 5 times. Once to pull the sequence number (the first number), then the time, then I have 3 separate columns looking for Operator 1, 2 or 3, respectively. Once those 5 loops are complete there is a pivot table that summarizes the sequences for each operator.
It works fine, but it's slow. Some of the text files have 10,000 lines in them.

I need a macro created, which extracts data from the text file, and displays the low level detail which is on the text file.
I have created a sample of the desired results on a tab called "Low Level Results".
I have already created a macro already which extracts data from the text file, but this gives me a high level view and the results of this is on the tab "High Level Results" ( which you might be able to adapt)
Please find attached two files,
Text File,
And Excel spreadsheet

I have a text file (EP-User.txt) contains records of User information like the example below:
[User]
org_id=HR
uid=JohnChen
role=employee
email_address=John@etex.com
first_name=John
last_name=Chen
job_title=Manager
country=USA
language=EN
time_zone=GMT-8
street=3
city=MX
state=NY
zip=123456
telephone=09847684
fax=23469483.....................
The fields of each User record may not appear in sequence and some of the fields may not appear in other User record. The file contains thousands of User records.
1. I need to extract the User records (only certain fields) into excel for data analysis and manipulation (fill-in missing value in certain fields).
2. After analysis and manipulation in excel, I need to export the data back to the original text file format again.

I have been trying to work this out by looking at other posts (mostly concerning Binary Access) but can't figure it! The source text files I am using can vary in length from 4,000 characters to well over 100,000 characters. However the data I am looking for always starts 40 characters from the end of the file and is 10 characters long! I need my macro to pick out this data and store it as a string (so it can be added to an array and exported to a worksheet later)

The code below looks at file names in column A and then goes to a folder and opens and copies the data in range c2 -lastrow from each file and pastes the data into sheet2.
how I could add to the code so that it also inserts the file name in column c?
It would make it easier to track the data in column B.
VB:
Sub CopyFromFile()
Dim fPath As String
Dim lRow As Long
[Code].....
I have attached a sample workbook. The list of file name is in sheet 1. An example of the output is in sheet 2. The data in column A is dummy data generally spans 100's of rows not just 10 as in the example.
The purpose of the code is to be able to put a list of file names in column a in sheet 1 and extract data from those files in a folder. The data extraction works fine. The reson for adding the file names is so that I know what file the data came from.

I had VBA run a third-party program ("HYD") using data listed in my spreadsheet. HYD produces a textfile and I want to extract a number from that log (line 58, columns 6-10 to be exact).
I started with
Open "C:TempHYDLOG.TXT" For Input As #1
but I don't know how to have it skip down to line 58 or which function to use to extract the number I want. I've read through tons of help files and forums but none of them treat anything as simple as scrolling down to specific lines.
The entire subroutine up to that point is as follows: ....

I need to set up an automated process to open an existing .xls file, extract the data from specific cells located in that file and insert it into a totally different file that I have preformatted to accept this data.
Example scenario:
If I have "that_file.xls" and it is unopened, but it contains data in cells "A2 thru F2" that I need to extract... then I have "this_file.xls" , which is open, and set up with all my calculation cells and a specific layout (lets say it has cells "D8, E9, F10, G11, H12, and I13"). I want to be able to add a button to "this_file.xls" to run a macro that would open a file search window where I can select "that_file.xls", and then it will automatically extract the data from "that_file.xls" into "this_file.xls" as follows:
A2 to D8
B2 to E9
C2 to F10
D2 to G11
E2 to H12
F2 to I13

I have a set of task descriptions that I am attempting to trend on. Some of these (Column B) have the customer's name added to the description; others do not. I need to be able to make a list of task names (ColumnA), removing the name from the text string.
The formula I am using is [=LEFT(B3,FIND("for",B3)-2)].
The problem I am having is when the description does not contain the "for" built into the formula, I get "VALUE" error. What adjustment can I make to the formula to pull over the Description if the "for" does not appear in the text string?

I have a worksheet with over 10,000 records. The column that lists where a person is willing to relocate can have up to 60 city/state entries in one cell.
Here is an example of what appears in one cell - this is exactly how it appears:
ASAI Los Angeles (XX , CA
DFO Pacific (XX ONLY), CA
DFO Pacific Area Analyst Laguna Niguel (XX ONLY), CA
SAI Los Angeles (XX ONLY), CA
Ldr Los Angeles El Segundo POD (XX ONLY), CA
Ldr Los Angeles Long Beach POD (XX ONLY), CA
Ldr Los Angeles POD (XX ONLY), CA
Senior Ldr (XXXX) Washington (XX ONLY), DC
What I need to do is be able to sort on city and state, so I wanted to be able to extract and separate the city and state. I tried using a find/replace (CTRL J) to enter a semicolon between each entry and thought I could do text to columns to separate, but that doesn't work.
How I could extract this information? Notice that the first entry is missing ) - that is throughout the records.

provide me a code for extracting data and outputting it into individual worksheets situated within the excel workbook file. I am wondering what the code would be if the data were extracted to individual text files, individual workbooks or *.prn files?
For i = 2 To Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
Set ws = Worksheets.Add(After:=Worksheets(Worksheets.Count))
ws.Name = wsraw.Cells(i, "D")
With ws
.Range("A1") = wsraw.Cells(i, "D")
.Range("A2").Resize(2) = wsraw.Cells(i, "A")
.Range("B2").Resize(2) = wsraw.Cells(i, "B")
.Range("C2") = 0
.Range("C3") = 1000
.Range("A4") = -999
End With

I have a few hundred data/text files to analyze, some a few thousand lines deep. I would like to grab 5, just 5 numbers describing voltage levels. I know the preceding text for each of these in the cell and the following text as well. I just need to delete everything else and keep these 5 values in a column using a script or a macro, and do so for all these files in a specified folder.
This would be 3 weeks of work and the analysis needs to be done ASAP for my research.

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)

We have a program that writes a text file for a CNC Machine. It list the length of the board it needs to cut and how many. It may write up to 25 different files each day. All names start with the date. Today's files start with 1019 and a space. It is also the first line of the text file. I need a total of board feet from each file. My goal is to have one sheet that has the file name in the "A" column and the total feet in the "B" column. I'll copy part of the text file here. The L: is the length of the board and the N: is the number of pieces. All the files have a .prg extension....

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.
