Parsing of line feeds in text file

[pedron]

So, i have a macro i inherited.

It is pretty nuts in some of the assumptions it makes, and i don't want to recode it if i can help it.

One of the assumptions it makes is that a certain log file will parse a certain way. The openText call is as follows:

This log has unix style line breaks at the end of its lines. These consist of 2 0xA characters on each line.

We were originally running this in Excel 2003, but now we're porting this system over to new hardware and 2007 must be installed per license agreement.

So, in Excel 2003, the line feed described above leads to one line between each row in the Excel spreadsheet when it's imported using the above code.

HOWEVER, in Excel 2007, the same line break characters are causing 2 rows between each row when imported.

Is there a setting i can change or something i can add to make this change?

any help you can suggest is GREATLY appreciated.....

I suggest you post a sample text file fo testin.

To best describe or illustrate your problem you would be better off attaching a dummy workbook, the workbook should contain the same structure and some dummy data of the same type as the type you have in your real workbook - so, if a cell contains numbers & letters in this format abc-123 then that should be reflected in the dummy workbook. Don't upload a picture when you have a workbook question. None of us is inclined to recreate your data. Upload the workbook and manually add an 'after' situation so that we can see what you expect. In addition clearly explain how you get the results..
