import text

[wcoetzer]

I was given this code, which extracts lines of text from a range of selected text files. At the time I thought I only wanted one line to be extracted per file (more precisely the name in one column and the rest of the file inanother column). Then I discovered that there are multiple lines per file.

I just need the code tweaked so that there is a loop, and every time a new > is encountered a new row is created in the spreadsheet, and the letters following that > are inserted next to the name (which appears before the >).

Thanks!

An example text file is:

Sorry, I meant that the name is on the line starting with > and the next line is the text that needs to be associated with that name.
