VB Script For TXT File Parser / Sort And Export
Apr 20, 2013
I have a large number of data files for a game, they are text files but have various extensions (like .weapon or .shipsection). These files contain a code hook and a integer,boolean or string separated by a space and or tab. There are a set list of available code hook variables (around 250) but each text file only specifies relevant ones to be changed from default. I would like to have 2 Macros, one to import existing txt files and one to export. The goal is to be able to have a database to manage these individual txt files without editing them manually.
Here is one of the .txt files
Code:
weapon
{
name 'PD Interceptor'
weaponclass pdmissile
weaponfamily missile
model1 "" // insert barrel model for tiny mounts here if we get them
model2 barrel_pdmissile.X // NOTE: model2 for tiny pd weapons in small mounts
[Code] .....
In excel I have a page intended to be a export template containing all the existing code hook types. I want to create another page using the importer with columns for every hook instance and rows for each txt file instance. Column 1 must be the txt file name and the rest of the columns populated only if the hook is present and with the value associated. Export would work by reading values off the database for each row into the template page if they exist for each column and create a text file using tab as delimiter.
Here is the scripts I have so far:
Import:
Code:
' ---------------------- Directory Choosing Helper Functions -----------------------
' Excel and VBA do not provide any convenient directory chooser or file chooser
' dialogs, but these functions will provide a reference to a system DLL
' with the necessary capabilities
Private Type BROWSEINFO ' used by the function GetFolderNameB
[Code]......
I used a script with directory navigation but the import one does not work properly...Is this too much to ask of macros?

I'm struggling constantly with the Excel 2007 I use, and the Excel 2003 that another group uses.
I'm dealing with large files; 200000 to 300000 rows often.
I wish there was a setting or way to automatically force excel 2007 to create a file in 2003 format.....meaning I want 260000 rows to automatically be divided up into 4 sheets limited to 65K each. 260001 rows would be put into 5 sheets, so that I could save it as an excel 2003 file.
Is there also a way to do this from access 2007 exported to excel?(I know that's an access question and probably outside the bounds of this board).

I have a template file for ordering trafolyte and steel plates. I have added macros to this template file. The existing macros do the following (shortly described):
Macro 1: clears order
Macro 2: update order date + send a read only file to the supplier of plates + save a read only copy of the file into one of three folders acc to info in one of the cells.
It's the Macro 2 I want to edit.
I want to add a "function" which copy a selection of data.column A to N from row 12 to 548 but only the rows where there is a value in column A.
Row 1 to 11 includes standard order info and Macro buttons.
Row 11 includes the heading for order data.
For everytime someone click on the Macro 2 button in the template file, I want the selection to be paste into the first "available" row in a "Total list" file.
The "Total list" file may have to be open (or a function to open, paste selection and then close the "Total list" file may be added)
File and Folder info:
To simplify suggestions, the following file and path info can be used (I can change to the correct later):
Template file name: template_order.xlsm
Template file location: \servershared emplate
Total list file name: total_list.xlsx
Total list file location: \servershared otal
Selection info:
The template file exists of a "general order info area" A1:N10
The column heading for order data is located at A11:N11
The selection to be copied is A12:N550 - But only rows where column A includes data (not empty).
(If the spesific order consists of 14 plates than there will be item no 1-14 in column A and I then I want to copy A12:N25 (row 25 will be item 14).
When I try to use record macro it looks like it only records what's happening in the template file - It doesn't record the pasting in the total list.

I have a spreadsheet that my field workers use to collect data.(See 'Capture Form'). On the main worksheet they use drop-down lists to enter the data. These lists are drawn from named ranges on other worksheets. In the column next to these ranges are the respective ID numbers.
I want to set up a worksheet ('Export') that mirrors the capture worksheet 'Capture Form' but only includes the ID numbers so that I can import into my Access db. I'm sure it's probably just a simple worksheet function but I don't know how to do this.

I have a database of 75000 rows in text format which has to be converted to excel, but the limitation in excel is only 65536. hence, I want to a macro that will copy the 1st 65536 rows into the 1st sheet in excel. The remaining rows should be copied into the second sheet. I know that it can be done with access. but i dont want to use access.
I have got a code to do this, but it takes much too long. if the code could be modified to make it faster,
Sub LargeFileImport()
'Dimension Variables
Dim ResultStr As String
Dim FileName As String
Dim FileNum As Integer
Dim Counter As Double
'Ask User for File's Name
FileName = InputBox("Please enter the Text File's name, e.g.

I would like vba code that will export a given group of cells, or a defined print page area to a jpg file (preferable, but other image format would work). I'm planning to create a program that will change some cell data and create a jpg file for various sets of data.
I suppose if that's not possible that another alternative would be ok, so i'm open to suggestions, but the export to jpg format would be great. I found a little program that will do it, but i wanted to include the code in my program to make it all automated.

I'd like to be able to highlight a row of data in an Excel spreadsheet that were just entered by the user, click on a button that's linked to a VBA macro that exports the highlighted data to a text file (with a .txt extension), saves that text file & exits from it without the user having to say Yes to a dialog box that asks if he/she wants to save.

In any other software, when I save a copy, or export to a different format the original file remains unaffected but in an excel it seems to work differently...and I end up having to save my file back to the xslx format. this extra time wasted when I am regularly exporting but it also makes me a bit nervous that I might accidentally not save back to the format with all my worksheets etc etc..

I have one table in word format and a sheet in excel:
word table:
Part # ID
1001 C1,C5
1002 C2~C4,C6-C7
1004 A10
excel sheet :
ID Color part #
C3 white
C1 blue 1001
C2 red
A10 black
C4 red
C5 greed 1001
C6 grey
C7 pink
I need to write a script which will take an id in excel sheet , then look up the part number in word table , copy the part number into excel sheet. So the sheet will look like this:
ID Color part #
C3 white 1002
C1 blue 1001
C2 red 1002
A10 black 1004
C4 red 1002
C5 greed 1001
C6 grey 1002
C7 pink 1002
at the end, I need to export the sheet as text file with tab as delimiter
Is this possible using VBA?

I have a spreadsheet that currently looks like ........
My problem is that I want the macro to create either (a) a seperate text file for each line (1 for line 2, one for line 3 etc etc) or even better (b) create a file for the specific line i am on. For example if i happended to click on D5 and then pressed the macro key it would onyl create a txt file for line 5, same if i clicked on E6, it would only create a file for line 6.
I would be grateful if you could highlight the code you insert into my macro as it may be useful for other reports i run.

I have macro that exports certain range to text file. It goes through first to last row and exports it to Text file. Here is the part of the
For Each myRecord In Range("A2:A" & Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row)
With myRecord
For Each myField In Range(.Cells, Cells(.Row, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft))
sOut = sOut & DELIMITER & DEL & myField.Text
Next myField
Print #nFileNum, Mid(sOut, 2)
sOut = Empty
End With
Next myRecord
The problem is that sheets might by empty. I would like to add something to this code ( I guess some IF condition) so that all blank rows are skipped and not exported to text file.

I am trying to export a chart using the code below, the loops change the data that is used to produce the chart:
Dim strFilename As String
Dim strExt As String
Dim lngProfile As Long
Dim lngOption As Long
For lngOption = 1 To 3
Range("nmOption") = Choose(lngOption, "Existing", "Option 4", "Option 5")
For lngProfile = 1 To 4
Range("nmProfile") = "Profile " & lngProfile
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 13").Activate
ActiveChart.ChartArea.Select
strExt = "gif"
strFilename = ThisWorkbook.Path & "Images" & _
Range("nmOption") & "_" & Range("nmProfile") & "." & strExt
ActiveChart.Export strFilename, strExt
Next lngProfile
Next lngOption
Each export command creates a file with the correct name but no data (0kb in size) and a temporary file that is the correct file type (I have tried both jpg and gif).
I could try and copy the temporary file, but why does Excel not finish the job? I have tried to put a loop in and also added DoEvents after the export but no joy.

I have an XLS file that gets data from an imported XML file. I need to apply some filters and then export it in a new XML file. I'm trying both "Development->Export" and "Save as->XML Data" procedures, but it always saves all data in the XLS document, not only the filtered. How can I obtain a new XML file with only filtered data???

I work for an environmental company and we do emission testing. We specifically use the analysis software CEMsoft and ProRATA. After each test/run we get a text file (.txt) that we print out which then has to put into a specific pre-made excel data file.
I am wondering if there is a way to export the data from the .txt file and into the specific fields within the excel sheet. Can I encode the .txt or excel file to do it for me? Trying to eliminate the need to manually put in the data from the printed out sheet.

I'm trying to automate the process of exporting a range of cells to a text file. I think the Print# command will work because I don't want the quotes at the end of each line. Each range of cells will be a separate text file, and I want to save and name the file according to the column it's in. This bit of code from dominicb seems to be what I'm looking for, in principle.

I'm trying to accomplish is to take an Excel file that contains one column of data consisting of up the maximum number of rows of data (numbers formatted as text? "000000000") and export the data to a text (.txt) file 1000 rows at a time. I would also like the code to allow me to name the .txt files in succession, for example, Pg01, Pg02, Pg03, etc.
The files are going to be used to query a system that will only accept text input 1000 items at a time.
I run the following code to ensure the data is formatted consistently:
Sub a_VerifyDataForInput()
' Start at Cell A1
Range("A1").Select
' Select Column A
Columns("A:A").Select
' Format data in Column A
Selection.NumberFormat = "000000000"
' Replace all "|" (whatever you call this thing ... pipe???)
Selection.Replace What:="|", Replacement:="", LookAt:=xlPart, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False, _
ReplaceFormat:=False
' Replace all "-" (dashes)
Selection.Replace What:="-", Replacement:="", LookAt:=xlPart, _ ........................

To a seperate worksheet for export to a txt file {for saving}
Then {when required} importing the txt file data into the worksheet ,copy the data back to the worksheet ranges and re-calculating the data. I have struggled to trying and butcher the code and delete the copy stage and write just the required ranges to the txtfile.(And reverse)

This is a sample of the data with which I am working. I know that a macro can do what I need, but I am only versed in Excel formulas and not that much programming. I need to be able to first sort the data by Column C ("Element Type"), then by Columns E, F, G ("Year", "Month", "Day"). Then, I need to be able to copy all rows that have the same "Element Type" and "Year" to a new file, using the same header from the original spreadsheet on each new spreadsheet - doing this multiple times until the end of the file is reached.
Ideally, the new files would have a strict naming convention: XXXXXX-ZZZZ (YYYY).xls, where the X's are the value of the "COOP Station ID" in Column A, the Z's are the "Element Type" from Column C, and the Y's are the "Year" from Column E. If this theoretical macro were run with the Sample Data file I provided, it should result in the creation of five new workbooks. Is there a way to write a macro to do this, or at least something similar

Currently using Excel 2010 and looking for a macro that will export a selection (will be part of a column that I select) and export as an MS-DOS CSV file (no quotes around values, each row on different line) with 12 commas after each value in the selection.
Attached is an example of how I would like the output to appear, with the selected values only have four numbers in them. If possible, I would like a dialog box to appear for saving the file to a directory and name that I chose.

Excel 2007 I have a button that will export the worksheet to pdf and save it as Acrobat requires. I have a network folder set up and it saves the file with the name that I have programed in the macro. I would like to have the file name set up to be what is in cell C3 then a space and the specific words.
For example, if C3 contains "123456" I want the file to be named "123456_Warranty Calculator"
I will end up using this in several worksheets which will have a different name as part of the file name (based on the worksheet name).
I would also like to have the last part of the file name be the worksheet name. ie, "Warranty Refund", "PDR Refune", etc.
I will have several users that will be using the workbook and possible saving at the same time and want each person to be able to find the one they saved instead of it being overwritten.

In the attached file, I have two columns (A and B) and the column A will vary within the range from A4:A104 and column B will vary according to A. Nevertheless column A has #N/A error which is mandatory for chart. So I am looking for a macro to do the following:
Start with cell B4 and go until value exsists for "B" (let me say for eg. B40) and select the range A4:B40 and ask the user to give name for the export file export only that selection as a tab delimited txt file.

I looked in to the above article. But i have trouble in selecting dynamic range and to avoid #N/A error in the range.

I have a quoting application for damaged vehicles, this application is able to export all quotes and information relating to quotes into an excel sheet. the export file arranges the jobs in rows with each value in a separate cell i.e.
Job #|| Name || number || Parts $ || Total $
1453 || Mike K || 1234567 || 123.00 || 222.00
1533 || John C || 4353456 || 234.00 || 2342.00
Etc
Each job is listed on a separate row as it exports the records from an access database. once the information is exported I need to open another workbook and type in a job number into a cell and have excel automatically reference the relevant job and information relating to that job (all info in the same row) and fill in all the details from the other workbook into the new workbook. Example: the exported file contains 200 jobs, of those 200 i require 20 to view for one week. I have the job numbers of the jobs which I need to get information for. i open up another workbook and type in the 20 job numbers in separate rows and excel fills in the rest by referencing the other worksheet.

On the intranet we have some reports in PDF file when I open it in excel i get this kind of results: from pdf opened in excel.xlsx
Now I want to sort values in that way to operate, calculate and to be more organized.
Let me explain what does mean each parts of values in report from intranet..
Red text in A column = type of event
in C column = start of event
in D column = end of event
in E column = duration of event
in F column = control number
Blue text in H column = material name
Green text in B column -> if in A column text is green and write "Komentar:" then in B Column is comment typed by employees, If in A column text is green and write "Pri dogodku:" then in B column is type of event where was comment above writen if in A column text is green and write "Vnesel:" then in B column is name of employees wich write comment
The name of line where that event has been is in D column if in A column is date with black text (hope u understand see in attachment)
So I want to paste this report to one sheet and have in other sheet report in order A column is DATE, B LINE, C TYPE OF EVENT, D EMPLOYEES WHO WRITE COMMENT, F COMMENT, G DURATION OF EVENT, H CONTROL NUMBER, I MATERIAL NAME
In each row is details of event so I could see how many event I have, which kind of, duration etc
