Hello all- glad I found your forum!

I have a question:

I'd like to know if/how this is possible using vba.I'd like excel to "scan" a text file and import:

1.ALL the lines of text before a line that contains a certain character , * for example

2. ONLY text thereafter that is bound in parenthesis.

Total newbie, any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks Alot,

Scott L.
