Outputting Excel rows to a series of text files
Inside Excel, I have a list of article names in column A, and a disclaimer inside column B. Now for each article in column A, I would like to create a text file, were A is the title of the file and B, the disclaimer, is the contents of the file.
Is this possible?
The idea is that I have several hundred of these, and I would like t开发者_如何学Co make this easier on myself.
If Excel is not ideal for this, can anyone suggest an alternative? (possibly Notepad++ has a feature that can help?)
Sub Export_Files()
Dim sExportFolder, sFN
Dim rArticleName As Range
Dim rDisclaimer As Range
Dim oSh As Worksheet
Dim oFS As Object
Dim oTxt As Object
'sExportFolder = path to the folder you want to export to
'oSh = The sheet where your data is stored
sExportFolder = "C:\Disclaimers"
Set oSh = Sheet1
Set oFS = CreateObject("Scripting.Filesystemobject")
For Each rArticleName In oSh.UsedRange.Columns("A").Cells
Set rDisclaimer = rArticleName.Offset(, 1)
'Add .txt to the article name as a file name
sFN = rArticleName.Value & ".txt"
Set oTxt = oFS.OpenTextFile(sExportFolder & "\" & sFN, 2, True)
oTxt.Write rDisclaimer.Value
oTxt.Close
Next
End Sub
Another approach using variant arrays for speed, and an alternative to the FileSystemObject
given only file creation is needed.
Sub DataDump()
Dim X
Dim lngRow As Long
Dim StrFolder As String
StrFolder = "C:\temp"
X = Range([a1], Cells(Rows.Count, 2).End(xlUp))
For lngRow = 1 To UBound(X)
Open StrFolder & "\" & X(lngRow, 1) & ".txt" For Output As #1
Write #1, X(lngRow, 2)
Close #1
Next
End Sub
I do not have enough Rep to comment on other people's post yet so I have to post this as an answer. The accepted answer by @transistor1 works; however, in Excel 2010 need to change
Set oSh = Sheet1
to Set oSh = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("worksheet")
Where "worksheet" is the name of the worksheet the data is on.
