I have a text file of about 20 file names I generated from doing a shell dir command and placing the output in a text file.
I am reading the text file row by row and doing processing after each row read. It works fine for the first 6 rows or so, then on the next row read, it stops advancing to the next row.
My code is basically as follows in VBA


Dim objfso As Object
Dim dirlist_rcd As String
Dim txtstream As Object
Set objfso = CreateObject("Scripting.fileSystemObject")
Set txtstream = objfso.OpenTextFile(filepath & "dirlist.txt")

Do While Not txtstream.AtEndOfStream
dirlist_rcd = txtstream.ReadLine

....
processing...
...
Loop

Who is Mr Spreadsheet?
Author John Walkenbach was Mr Spreadsheet until his retirement in June 2019.
Update...I deleted the 7th record from the file, thinking maybe something wrong with that record. The code still does not advance after 6 rows.
I changed txtstream.ReadLine txtstream.readall and the entire file did read into txtstream. I have not tried splitting txtstream yet.
