reading entire text file using vba

Question

I\'m trying to read a text file using vba. I tried the below code

Open \"C:\\tester.txt\" For Input As #1
Worksheets(\"UI\").Range(\"H12\").Value = Input$(LO         


        

Answer 1

The following code will loop through each line in the text document and print these from range H12 and downward in the UI-sheet.

Sub ImportFromText()
    Open "C:\tester.txt" For Input As #1
    r = 0
    Do Until EOF(1)
        Line Input #1, Data
        Worksheets("UI").Range("H12").Offset(r, 0) = Data
        r = r + 1
    Loop
    Close #1
End Sub

Answer 2

I think an easier alternative is Data > From Text and you can specify how often the data is refreshed in the Properties.
