I have a large csv file (150K rows and 150 columns) that I open in excel, copy it then append it to existing text file. When I try to do this in VBA using either of the below codes that I found online, I get Null value from the clipboard. If I copy a smaller range, below commands work. If I paste the copied range manually to the text file, it works. Since data range seem to be too big to get it from clipboard, is there any other way to achieve above or make below code work somehow? Greatly appreciate all the help in advance.
PS: MS Forms 2.0 object library is added in VBA editor References.
Code:
theClipboard = CreateObject("htmlfile").ParentWindow.ClipboardData.GetData("text")
‘ theClipboard returns Null value
Open strFileName For Append As #1
Print #1, theClipboard
Close #1
Code:
 With New DataObject
    .GetFromClipboard
    Open strFileName For Append As #1
    Print #1, .GetText  ‘no data is written. 
    Close
  End With

Excel Facts

Move date out one month or year
Use =EDATE(A2,1) for one month later. Use EDATE(A2,12) for one year later.
Instead of using the clipboard, you can use the Input function to read the entire file...

Code:
Option Explicit

Sub Append_CSV_to_Txt_File()


    Dim sourceFile As String
    Dim destFile As String
    Dim inputData As String
    Dim fileNum As Long
    
    sourceFile = "c:\users\domenic\desktop\sample.csv"
    destFile = "c:\users\domenic\desktop\sample.txt"
    
    fileNum = FreeFile()
    Open sourceFile For Input As [URL="https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=fileNum"]#fileNum[/URL] 
        inputData = Input(LOF(fileNum), fileNum)
    Close [URL="https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=fileNum"]#fileNum[/URL] 
    
    fileNum = FreeFile()
    Open destFile For Append As [URL="https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=fileNum"]#fileNum[/URL] 
        Print [URL="https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=fileNum"]#fileNum[/URL] , inputData
    Close [URL="https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=fileNum"]#fileNum[/URL] 
    
End Sub

Change the path and filenames accordingly.

Hope this helps!

Domenic, Thank you for the reply. One question is that since the CSV file has lots of header information that will not be copied to text file, I was selecting a range of data in the CSV file then copying it to text file. Any suggestions on how to append the selected range only in CSV file to text file?

In that case, we'll need to read the file line by line to filter out those header lines. Are the number of header lines consistent? If so, how many header lines do you have?

Domenic, also, is it possible add the csv data as tab separated rather than comma separated? So, the first part of the text file is comma separated, newly added data from CSV opened in Excel is tab separated? If I paste the selected data from excel to text file, it pastes as tab separated which is what is needed for the final text file to work.

thank you so much for your help.

Yes data start from cell B5. column A is not needed. Will we be able to read them as tab delimited instead of comma?

thank you much for your help.

Sorry, but you keep adding more and more information, and the code needed to carry out the task keeps changing. I would suggest that you start a new thread and provide all of the relevant information, including a small sample of the source file and a small sample of the resulting destination file. Then someone will likely be able to provide you with a solution.

My apologies for multiple requests. I have no experience with text files. I use Excel for opening and manipulating the CSV file. When I open the CSV file in excel, needed data starts from B5, meaning, first 4 rows and the first data in each row (column A) are header information.

At this point, I can remove all header data and column A in excel and save it as a new CSV file. Then using your code which works very fast, I add the new file to the text file. All other requests aside including comma vs tab delimited option, if there is an easier way of reading the data directly into text file as you originally suggested without creating an intermediate CSV file, that would be great.

Again, I apologize for not providing all the information. I greatly appreciate your time and help.

Try the following macro, which has been amended to skip the first 4 rows, remove the first column, and replace commas with tabs...

Code:
Option Explicit

Sub Append_CSV_to_Txt_File()


    Dim sourceFile As String
    Dim destFile As String
    Dim inputLine As String
    Dim fileNum1 As Long
    Dim fileNum2 As Long
    Dim lineCount As Long
    
    sourceFile = "c:\users\domenic\desktop\sample.csv"
    destFile = "c:\users\domenic\desktop\sample.txt"
    
    fileNum1 = FreeFile()
    Open sourceFile For Input As [URL=https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=fileNum1]#fileNum1[/URL] 
    
    fileNum2 = FreeFile()
    Open destFile For Append As [URL=https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=fileNum2]#fileNum2[/URL] 
    
        lineCount = 0
        Do Until EOF(fileNum1)
            Line Input [URL=https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=fileNum1]#fileNum1[/URL] , inputLine
            lineCount = lineCount + 1
            If lineCount > 4 Then 'skip the first 4 rows
                inputLine = Mid(inputLine, InStr(inputLine, ",") + 1) 'remove the first column
                inputLine = Replace(inputLine, ",", vbTab) 'replace commas with tabs
                Print [URL=https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=fileNum2]#fileNum2[/URL] , inputLine
            End If
        Loop
        
    Close [URL=https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=fileNum1]#fileNum1[/URL] 
    Close [URL=https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=fileNum2]#fileNum2[/URL] 
    
End Sub

Wow, it worked flawlessly. Such short code replaces my days work :). Thank you much for your time. Now, I will need to study it well to understand it for future use. Thank you again.
