Write Ranges To Text Files & Save Each As Cell Text
Sep 17, 2007
I m trying to write a macro which could take the text from a single column row T2 to row T313 and write it to a .txt file. Have the .txt file name created by the text in T4 or I could also put the text to name the file in T1 if you think it would be easier.
Then carry on to the next named sheet and produce another .txt file in exactly the same way until all 15 sheets have been completed. It would also be helpful if prior to starting to write each text files, it could test for any text in cell A2 of the sheet. The first empty A2 cell of a sheet would determine the end of the run, if it was prior to sheet 15 being reached.

I have a excel file that I enter information into. I have code that saves the files to a certain folder with the name, date, and time stamp for the file name. At the end of the day I might have 3 to 15 excel files I have created that day and I would like to take information from certain cells (examle: L3, B6, B7, B8, G8, and so on) and create a txt file with all of the information in it.
Example:
12/20/2007
Your Name
123 Somewhere St.
Here, OH 45111
Home Visit
12/20/2007
Someone Else
345 Anywhere St.
There, OH 45211

I'm using a code to copy text from a word doc into a spreadsheet. It does it all right, but when it comes to saving, it does not save the open worksheet and prompts me to save as a copy. If I do so, nothing is changed in the original file and the copy file has the information copied from the word file.
This is the code I'm using to write and save the spreadsheet.
...
(VBA in WORD)
Set wdApp = Excel.Application
Workbooks.Open FileName:="C:UsersljsDocumentsword2excel.xls"
Workbooks("word2excel.xls").Activate
Worksheets("Plan1").Activate
Worksheets("Plan1").Range("A2").Value = DOCname
Worksheets("Plan1").Range("B2").Value = CarNo
Worksheets("Plan1").Range("C2").Value = WordNo
ActiveWorkbook.Save
ActiveWorkbook.Close

I want to get a vba which will convert an excel with different tabs to individual text files. IT MUST BE PIPE DELIMITED.
So if there is an .xls file with 5 different tabs, i should get 5 text files with each text file getting name of the worksheet it was created from.
I have a similar code but somehow it is doing the conversion only for last worksheet, also it is saving the file in the same name as workbook.
Code:
Sub save_as_text()
Dim i As Long, txt As String, delim As String
delim = "|"
With ActiveSheet.UsedRange
For i = 1 To .Rows.Count
txt = txt & vbCrLf & _
Join(Evaluate("transpose(transpose(" & .Rows(i).Address & "))"), delim)
Next
End With
Open Replace(ThisWorkbook.FullName, ".xls", ".txt") For Output As #1
Print #1, Mid$(txt, 2)
Close #1
End Sub

I am using the following code to import a number of text documents into the same workbook, on seperate sheets and then to save the workbook as an excel file. the problem is that when the file tries to save (red section) I get a message telling me that Excel can not save the workbook in the requested format, I think because it is still trying to save them as text files rather than as an excel workbook. When I try to save manually, selecting .xls as the format it works fine, but I would really like this to be part of the macro to ensure the WB is saved.
Sub ImportFiles()
Dim Sfile As String
Dim count As Integer
Dim ans As String
Dim A As Integer
Dim FileSaveName As String
count = 0
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Do
' Allow user to select the file to open, text files only
Sfile = Application. GetOpenFilename("Text Files(*.txt), *.txt")
' Check that a file has been selected
If Sfile <> "False" Then......................

I have several hundred text files which I would like to reformat and save as excel without needing to open each file individually.
I'm entirely new to working with macros, so, I was able to use macro recorder to save the steps to reformat the file, but would like setting up the part of the macro to automatically open and reformat all of the files.

What if you have text that are hyperlinked to a txt file and you want to read from it and copy it into excel. What can I do then. Here is what I have been working on so far:
Sub GoToHyperLink()
Dim cell As Range
Dim link As Hyperlink
Dim Textline As String
Range("C2:C13").Select
For Each cell In Selection
Selection.Hyperlinks(1).Follow NewWindow:=False
I can not get it to write it to excel.

I have some daily text files in a folder (so about 30 of them each month), which in the end of month, I need to open them up in excel, format them so that I can use the information for my analysis.
I would like to create a macro, to quickly open them all up at once and save them each individually in .xls or .xlsm format.
I am new to VBA and after some research online, I was able to have the files open with the following code. but now I don't know how to proceed further to save them one by one with the same name but in .xls or .xlsm format.
Sub Opentxtfiles()
Dim MyFolder As String
Dim myfile As String

how I would go about addressing this issue. I am given a directory with individual files in it. Each file has critical information I have to extract from it. So, I want the user to provided this directory to the macro and I want the macro to cycle through each file in this directory (excluding super and sub direcories), open it, retrieve info, and close it

I have opened a .txt (by right clicking and selecting Open with rather than open from within Excel) file with numbers using the format 1,234,567.00 but in my country we use 1 234 567,00. So I created a macro changing the , into "" and the . into , and it works fine while creating the macro itself (by using the macro recorder) and the numbers shows and behaves like numbers. However, when running the macro on a new file some numbers remain as text whereas others are numbers. Theres is no common string, eg that numbers starting with - (minus) remains text.
It does then not matter if I go to the format function and select number with decimals and thousand dividor - the number still remains as text. I have also tried the suggested multply by 1 but it still remains as text. The only thing that helps is to either double click on the number or use the Konvert text to number. But I would then have to click each number in the whole table which is what I wanted to avoid.

I recently built an Excel macro that takes a manually generated accessible-text file made using Adobe Acrobat, parses it and processes the data in a number of ways. Rather than open the text file I would like instead to open the original PDF, save or export it in accessible-text format (not plain text) then process the data. I've been able to find some code that opens the pdf then saves it as plain text but then half the data is missing; thus, I need to save it as accessible text.
Here's the code I've found that works that I'm currently using (I realize it's probably JavaScript but it seems to get the job at least partly done
VB:
Sub test()
Dim AcroXApp As Object
Dim AcroXAVDoc As Object
Dim AcroXPDDoc As Object
[Code] .....
Perhaps there's an alternate format in which to save rather than "plain-text", but I just can't seem to find out what it is.

Could any Excel wiz out there tell me whether the following is possible, and if so what would be the VB code to do it?
I would like a macro that will save the contents of cell A2 in a text file, with file name from cell A1, then move the cursor down to the next row, and repeat the process until reaching the last row of data.
The end result would be a stack of text files, each containing the data from a single cell in the spreadsheet.
e.g.
001.txt (containing the contents of cell A2)
002.txt (containing the contents of cell B2)
003.txt (containing the contents of cell C2)
...etc.
This is for a multi lingual dictionary so the text files would have to be unicode as well.

By using a macro is it possible to save just a cell value as a txt file?
This is part of a Forex system I am building using excel.
There will be 28 pairs and a total of 168 buttons. Each button will be assigned a cell which will hold the information for that trade.
I am looking for a macro that will save just the cell value as trade.txt

Have read a few codes that allow you to automatically save a workbook using the value of a cell as the name of the file.
BUT, I can not find the code to save it if the cell is a date.
The 17/01/2009 wont save due to the forward slash.
Is there anyway within code that I can save the workbook by first removing the slashes?

I'm trying to learn VBA programming (I started some years ago already, but felt it was a bit too difficult for me) and I would like to ask two (perhaps very basic) questions:
1 - Can someone give me a code which does the following : In A1 I have a string : "This is a test." I want it in rewritten in column C1-4 as follows :
C1 This
C2 is
C3 a
C4 test.
2 - A code which does the following : In A1 I have a word : "Testing"
I want it this word as split up in 1 character/cell as follows :
C1 T
C2 e
C3 s
C4 t
C5 i
C6 n
C7 g

I have a macro that reads the content of the columns in an excel file and writes the content of each cell in the column to a row in a text file. Here is the code I am using:
Public fso As New FileSystemObject
Dim f As Folder
Dim i As Long
Dim j As Long
Dim rng As Range
Dim cell As Range
' Generate a set of text files from this excel file
Sub ExcelToText()
'Select the used range of the worksheet
Set rng = ActiveSheet.UsedRange
Set rng = rng.Offset(3, 0)
For i = 1 To rng.Columns.Count
CreateTextFile rng.Columns(i), i
Next i
End Sub
' create text file
Private Sub CreateTextFile(rng As Range, i As Long)
Dim tstream As TextStream
Dim oCell As Range
Dim j As Integer
Dim title As String
Dim filname$
Now my problem is the following: certain rows are merged in the first column of my excel file, such as the following:
050partyId partyIdScheme
member memberScheme
In this case, my macro writes 50 in the first text file, then partyIdmember in the second file and partyIdSchemememberScheme in the third file.
What I want is a white space between the words in my text file, for example: partyId partyIdScheme. How do I modify my macro to do that?

I cannot find Excel files that contain specific strings. For example, if I create a new file, and in the first cell type in "123456". Then save the file to the folder c:Temp Then in Windows Explorer, right-click on C:Temp and select "Search . . ." Then under "A word or phrase in the file", type in: 123456
It will NOT find the file! It will find a txt file or a doc file, but not xls files.
I thought maybe it fails because that is a number. But I have hundreds of Excel files with Integer numbers stored in "General" format cells and I desperately need to be able to search them to see which files contain certain numbers. It all started with some files that were sent to me - they work PERFECTLY for searching cells for numbers. So strange - yet if I open the file then save it . . . no changes or edits at all, just Open and Save. . . then the search fails for all numbers in that file. This is so perplexing that I have placed 2 zip Sample files on my website for you to Download: http://www.infocellar.com/Samples.zip
Unzip the two files to any folder. One is named "Sample-Works.xls" - Then do a Windows Search for any number in the file, here is one to try that is in the two files: 174026 And it will list "Sample-Works.xls" but it will NOT list "Sample-Fails.xls", even though BOTH FILES ARE IDENTICAL! I copied the same file twice and then named them. The only difference is that I opened the file Sample-Fails.xls and then immediately Saved it, which as I stated earlier, makes it fail all Searches from that point forward.

I have a userform with a textbox that has numbers in it, but when I write them to Excel they are put in the column as text, not as numbers.
[/CODE]Cells(erow,6).Value = txtbox_Amount[CODE]
How can I force it to write the information as numbers?
P.S. My computer won't let me paste into these posts, even when it asks me to allow access to my clipboard. What setting can I change so I can paste my code instead of typing it.
