Hello All
I have the below code just a sample that reads a TextFile so I can loop it however it is not reading the whole file. When I open the text file and save it as a UTF8 with no BOM from the ANSI format it read it all, any help with this? How can I read it as the ANSI format. Thank you
VBA Code:
 Dim fso As Object
   Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
   Set fileopening = fso.OpenTextFile(txtFileName, 1)
   arrTxt = Split(fileopening.ReadAll, vbNewLine) 'vbCrLf

When they said...
When they said you are going to "Excel at life", they meant you "will be doing Excel your whole life".
Does this work with your file (change PathAndFileName to your actual path and filename)...
VBA Code:
  Dim FileNum As Long, TotalFile As String, ArrTxt As Variant
  FileNum = FreeFile
  Open PathAndFileName For Binary As #FileNum
    TotalFile = Space(LOF(FileNum))
    Get #FileNum, , TotalFile
  Close #FileNum
  ArrTxt = Split(TotalFile, vbNewLine)

I literally came across this on the web after posting the thread and it worked. I appreciate your reply either way. Thank you
