Reading in data from text file into a VBA array

Question

I have the following VBA code:

Sub read_in_data_from_txt_file()

Dim dataArray() As String
Dim i As Integer

Const strFileName As String = \"Z:\\sample_text.         


        

Answer 1

What you have is fine; if everything ends up in dataArray(0) then the lines in the file are not using a CrLf delimiter so line input is grabbing everything.

Instead;

open strFileName for Input as #1
dataArray = split(input$(LOF(1), #1), vbLf)
close #1

Assuming the delimiter is VbLf (what it would be coming from a *nix system)
