Pasting big text files

[Ramthebuffs]

I get files from online in text form. The problem is that the amount of information is massive. Is there a macro that could fetch the information cut it into a size of the maximum number of rows?

Also, the information is grouped so that column A has has a reference number and is similar for a few hundred columns. I would like to be able to autofilter this so that I don't cut a similar group into 2 separate worksheets.

Well, anyway its worth a shot if anyone has a similar macro already made.

Thanks

I got this from the forum, and it works. Now the problem is each line is copied into the A column of each row. In the space between the data that separates there is a square character. Is there something in the code I could change or maybe a manual way to split up the data? The info automatically separates when I manually paste it.

Dim ResultStr As String

Dim FileNum As Integer
Dim Counter As Double
'Ask User for File's Name
FileName = Application.GetOpenFilename

If FileName = "" Then End

FileNum = FreeFile()

Open FileName For Input As #FileNum

'Display Importing Row Number On Status Bar
Application.StatusBar = "Importing Row " & _
Counter & " of text file " & FileName
'Store One Line Of Text From File To Variable

ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
End If
'Increment the Counter By 1
Counter = Counter + 1
