I have a command button that will search for and open specifically named files. These files are text documents is there a way to delimit automatically in the macro? (From tab to other with character'|')

Thanks

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
You can specify the delimiting character when using Workbooks.Opentext. To get a better explanation type Opentext into Excel's VB help but this should get you going:-

Code:
Workbooks.OpenText Filename:="C:temptest.txt", DataType:=xlDelimited, other:=True, otherchar:="|"
