ok so I have a huge txt file but all I need is one line.
Line 4 has 3 columns of important info that I need to import
At the moment I resolved to delete anything below 4

Is there a cleaner way
 

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
Try this

Code:
Sub test_line()
    Dim LineofText As Variant, wFile As String, n As Long
    wFile = "C:\trabajo\otro.txt"
    n = 1
    Open wFile For Input As [URL=https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=1]#1[/URL] 
    Do While Not EOF(1)
        Line Input [URL=https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=1]#1[/URL] , LineofText
        If n = 4 Then
            cols = Split(LineofText, ";")
            Range("A1:C1").Value = Array(cols(0), cols(1), cols(2))
            Exit Do
        End If
        n = n + 1
    Loop
    Close [URL=https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=1]#1[/URL] 
End Sub

OR

Code:

[COLOR=#333333], Destination:=Range("$A$1"))[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#333333].Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
