    Resolved [RESOLVED] vba tokenizer .. excel?

    Hey all,

    I'm reading in a rather large text file... which, not by my own choice, is delimited by different amounts of white space. The numbers/strings within the file are of different length. I need to cut between the whitespace and put each value into a respective cell creating a table. After some google research I couldn't find a vb tokenizer or something of the like. Am I forced to write a couple loops to essentially create my own tokenizer?

    Thanks much,

    PG

    are there spaces other than delimiters?
    if not you can remove all additional space then split
    vb Code:
    1. strtxt = filecontent
    2. do until strlen = len(strtxt)
    3.     strlen = len(strtxt)
    4.     strtxt = replace(strtxt, "  ", " ")    'replace double space with single space till all gone
    5. loop
    i do my best to test code works before i post it, but sometimes am unable to do so for some reason, and usually say so if this is the case.
    Note code snippets posted are just that and do not include error handling that is required in real world applications, but avoid On Error Resume Next

    dim all variables as required as often i have done so elsewhere in my code but only posted the relevant part

    come back and mark your original post as resolved if your problem is fixed
