Thanks for the response! My goal is to have the values fill certain cells. I figure I can do that using Range pretty good. Although the data will be taken from different parts of the text files, the place on the Excel sheets should be about the same. I know the number of possible data points that the files could have, so I'd leave enough space for the biggest text file size. My goal is to extract data from the rather arcane software output file and make it into a spreadsheet. I would do it just one text file at a time.
