I need to accomplish a very similar task...
And i want to work with this code, but what file extension should i save it as..? what should i need to compile and run it?
I'm a noob, but i need to read a csv file that contains information about different concerts and events... here is a snippet of the csv:
"EventID","Event","Venue","City","State","DateTime","TicketsYN","Address","ZipCode","URLLink","ImageURL"
1305111, Bhangra Fusion Eleven,The Fillmore - Detroit,Detroit,Michigan,3/20/2010 18:00,Y,2115 Woodward,48201,
http://orders.ticketsintown.com/Res...p://www.indux.com/map/fillmore_detroit_tn.gif
So, I want to search the csv based on "Event" and have it return every event that matches along with certain data related to the event that can be found in the same row. The two items i need are "City" and "URLLink".
I suppose I need the resulting data in a new csv file that only containts a sub-set of the columns from the original one and also only contains data related to the event name I searched for:
"Event","City","URLLink"
Bhangra Fusion Eleven,Detroit,
http://orders.ticketsintown.com/ResultsTicket.aspx?evtid=1305111
So I should have basically a table of "events" "city" and "URLLink" then I will export it into another script that will take that data along with input from user-- asking for the domain name he reserved for this artist--and then create website on an apache webserver for the domain name entered and in addition create a sub-domain for each instance of the event based on the "city" name obtained from the csv file and the domain name input by the user.
The subdomains will then all be redirected to the "URLLink" of the corresponding "city"
is that clear enough.? any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. i think i have a better understanding myself after writing that all out. but still sounds like alot of work and i dont want to go down a rabbit hole

I forgot that I had 1 minor error in the oringal posting that I did no
fix so it gave you the row number in the CSV file instead of the ro
number in the workbook
fro
Range("B" & RowCount) = RowCoun
t
Range("B" & RowCount) = C.Ro
There werre two thing I did that were not obvious to keep the data a

1) Format columns A & b as Tex

Columns("A:B").NumberFormat = "@

Columns("A

2) Use a variable that was declared as a strin

Extract data from csv file
I was looking through this discussion group, found something close to what
need, but not being a programmer, I have not been able to modify it to what
am attempting to do and I hope someone can help
The .csv files are split into groups by month (ie: "c:\Jan\file name.csv)"
I need to search within the group of csv files and extract data into an Exce
file. What I would like to do is if Cell A1 in my active wb matches the dat
to the right of the 76 comma in the csv file, extract the 'text' value (mus
be specified as text as this data is a 19 digit number and cannot have i
tuncated), in cell A2. Then in cell B2, extract the data that is to th
right of the 109 comma. Continue searching the current file and loop throug
all remaining files, extract subsequent data into the next line below
Hopefully this is possible and someone can help
Thank

Interesting exercise.
Interesting exercise
I am guessing that you have one workbook with one worksheet wher
A1, B1 only are filled. Nothing further
Only search in each csv file for 76th and 109th comma,
In what way is the matching done please? as the following 19 positions are
DIGITS only.
Or it could be that the .
Or it could be that the .csv file is turning out to be close to a fixed field
length file and he means that there is a comma at the 76th and 109th character
position in a record? Definitely needs clarification.

My apologies for delay in replying, I had the flu and could not thinkstraight.
My apologies for delay in replying, I had the flu and could not think
straight.
I looked more carefully at the type of files I need to seach for a
particular string, and found they are 'Excel Comma Separated Values'. The
files to be searched average 35,000 lines, and have, 1 believe, 120 columns
of data.
What I am attempting to do is search the 77th column for matching data, and
if there is a match, extract the data in the 47th column (19 digit number, so
need to extract as text), and also the data in the 110th column. When
opening the file using Note Pad, all the data is enclosed in " " and
separated by commas.
The workbook I want to extract the data to will always be basically blank.
I am hoping to have a user put a 'value' in Cell A1 then use a click button
to run the macro. It really does not matter what columns data goes to as long
as the data extracted is from the same line from the text file. IE Results
in WB:
Column A Column B
6888551119921316789 01/31/2010 15:10
6888551118195432688 02/13/2010 12:45
The code I found was as follows:
1-Their question: To extract data (the first three letters after the 2nd
comma, and the first 35 characters after the 7th comma) from a csv file (over
100,000 rows),
only after the 8th column matches a values in column A of my spreadsheet. The
two extracted data elements need to be stored in my worksheet in columns B
and C.
2- Reply: Sub Gettext()
Const ForReading = 1, ForWriting = 2, ForAppending = 3
Const TristateUseDefault = -2, TristateTrue = -1, TristateFalse = 0
Dim Data(8)
'default folder
Folder = "C:\temp"
ChDir (Folder)
Set fsread = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
FName = Application.GetOpenFilename("CSV (*.csv),*.csv")
Set fread = fsread.GetFile(FName)
Set tsread = fread.OpenAsTextStream(ForReading, TristateUseDefault)
RowCount = 1
Do While tsread.atendofstream = False
InputLine = tsread.ReadLine
For i = 0 To 7
If InStr(InputLine, ",") > 0 Then
Data(i) = Left(InputLine, InStr(InputLine, ",") - 1)
InputLine = Mid(InputLine, InStr(InputLine, ",") + 1)
Else
If Len(InputLine) > 0 Then
Data(i) = InputLine
InputLine = ""
Else
Exit For
End If
End If
Next i
'check if 8th item is in column A
Set c = Columns("A:A").Find(what:=Data(7), LookIn:=xlValues, _
lookat:=xlWhole)
If Not c Is Nothing Then
c.Offset(0, 1) = Left(Data(2), 3)
c.Offset(0, 2) = Left(Data(7), 35)
End If
Loop
tsread.Close
End Sub
Unfortunatley I have not been able to modify this (I can hardly read it)!
Thanks

Hi Joel,This code is BRILLIANT!
Hi Joel,
This code is BRILLIANT! I just need one other piece to it, I need also to
extract the data in column 47 (note, the data is a 19 digit number so it must
be defined as 'Text'. I tried to modify what you sent me as follows, but it
did not work:
Do
Data1 = CSVSht.Cells(c.Row, 110)
Data2 = CSVSht.Cells(c.Row, 47)
With ThisWorkbook.Sheets(DestSht)
..Range("A" & RowCount) = FName
..Range("B" & RowCount) = RowCount
..Range("C" & RowCount) = Data1
..Range("D" & RowCount) = Data2
RowCount = RowCount + 1
End With
I hope you can provide a little further assistance with this. The amount of
manual work this piece of code will save is invaluable.
Thank you
