Thread: Read multiple .txt files and copy specific text to excel

    Read multiple .txt files and copy specific text to excel

    Hello,
    I have thousands of text files that I need to copy specific data from and put into columns in an excel spreadsheet. In the past I've used a variation of the code below and it has worked fine however the text files I now have have duplicate words that I need to search for. Sample Analysis Time/Date: Benezen etc.. What I would like to do is return a value for each searched term in a corresponding column.

    current code
    Row = 2
      'label columns
      ActiveSheet.Cells(Row, 1).Value = "Analysis Date/Time"
      ActiveSheet.Cells(Row, 2).Value = "Lims#"
      ActiveSheet.Cells(Row, 3).Value = "Benzene"
      ActiveSheet.Cells(Row, 4).Value = "Arom"
      ActiveSheet.Cells(Row, 5).Value = "RVP"
      ActiveSheet.Cells(Row, 6).Value = "Ron"
      ActiveSheet.Cells(Row, 7).Value = "Mon"
      ActiveSheet.Cells(Row, 8).Value = "R+M/2"
      ActiveSheet.Cells(Row, 9).Value = "T10"
      ActiveSheet.Cells(Row, 10).Value = "T50"
      ActiveSheet.Cells(Row, 11).Value = "T90"
    
    
      Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
      For Each f In fso.GetFolder("C:\Desktop\NIR\temp").Files
        If LCase(fso.GetExtensionName(f.Name)) = "txt" Then
        Row = Row + 1
          Set stream = f.OpenAsTextStream
          Do Until stream.AtEndOfStream
            Line = stream.ReadLine
            
            'search line for text, return value to right of text
            If Left(Line, 32) = "      Sample Analysis Time/Date:" Then
              ActiveSheet.Cells(Row, 1).Value = Right(Line, Len(Line) - 39)
            ElseIf Left(Line, 13) = "      Comment" Then
              ActiveSheet.Cells(Row, 2).Value = Right(Line, Len(Line) - 45)
              ElseIf Left(Line, 13) = "      Benzene" Then
              ActiveSheet.Cells(Row, 3).Value = Right(Line, Len(Line) - 39)
            'continue on for each search term
            
              
             Exit Do
            End If
          Loop
          stream.Close
        End If
        Next
