Notes tests, text files, manipulation of text files in Excel and with Excel VBA CSV stuff

One important note at the outset of these notes is that my Excel is default German. I expect therefore issues likely to arise in anything to do with use of a comma , because often the comma , in English for certain things in Excel is replaced with the semi colon ; in German Excel.

Wot’s in a .csv file
In many Excel versions, you have the choice of three different Save As options related to .csv extension files https://excel.tips.net/T002519_Comma...C_and_Mac.html

So lets have a quick look at what the differences are…
In each of the 3 cases I will
make a virgin default template, save it
make a virgin default template, put a value in first cell, save it
make a virgin default template, put a value in first 2 cells, save it
make a virgin default template, put a value in first 2 cells, and in the cell A2, save it
( Initially, when I put values in, I wont hit the Enter after: Initially I want to avoid purposely doing something that may introduce a carriage return or line feed. I will then look further at that issue later )
After this I will investigate the made files , ( using , for example, my Sub WtchaGot_Unic_NotMuchIfYaChoppedItOff(ByVal strIn As String) ) ' https://excelfox.com/forum/showthrea...ts-of-a-string ' https://excelfox.com/forum/showthrea...ll=1#post11015
https://excelfox.com/forum/showthrea...ll=1#post13699

Here are the results ( It is a summary of what my function tells me is in those made files ) :

CSV (Comma delimited)Empty.csv vbCr & vbLf

CSV (Macintosh)Empty.csv vbCr & vbLf

CSV (MS-DOS)Empty.csv vbCr & vbLf

CSV (Comma delimited)A1.csv cellA1 "cellA1" & vbCr & vbLf

CSV (Macintosh)A1.csv cellA1 "cellA1" & vbCr & vbLf

CSV (MS-DOS)A1.csv cellA1 "cellA1" & vbCr & vbLf

CSV (Comma delimited)A1B1.csv cellA1;cellB1 "cellA1" & ";" & "cellB1" & vbCr & vbLf

CSV (Macintosh)A1B1.csv cellA1;cellB1 "cellA1" & ";" & "cellB1" & vbCr & vbLf

CSV (MS-DOS)A1B1.csv cellA1;cellB1 "cellA1" & ";" & "cellB1" & vbCr & vbLf

CSV (Comma delimited)A1B1A2.csv cellA1;cellB1
callA2; "cellA1" & ";" & "cellB1" & vbCr & vbLf & "callA2" & ";" & vbCr & vbLf

CSV (Macintosh)A1B1A2.csv cellA1;cellB1
callA2; "cellA1" & ";" & "cellB1" & vbCr & "callA2" & ";" & vbCr & vbLf

CSV (MS-DOS)A1B1A2.csv cellA1;cellB1
callA2; "cellA1" & ";" & "cellB1" & vbCr & vbLf & "callA2" & ";" & vbCr & vbLf

Important Conclusions are
_ the Macintosh distinguishes itself with a carriage return character, vbCr , as the line separator for introduced lines
_ There is always a last vbCr & vbLf – Note this means that for a single line, or empty file, we could not tell if we had a Macintosh

When closing the file, I was prompted to answer if I wanted to save changes or not. ( I chose yes in the last experiment ). This is strange since I had previously saved the files before closing
DoYouWantToSaveChangesOnCloseDespiteAlreadySavedCS V.JPG : https://imgur.com/nfnVwSF
But it does not seem to have any effect if I chose Yes or No
Some other observations.
If I use a simple macro, as below, to save and close the file ( and except the changes, which I am still strangely asked for , with Yes), then I get commas instead for the separator/delimiter

Code:

Sub SaveCSVviaVBA() ActiveWorkbook.Save ActiveWorkbook.Close End Sub

I get the same results for answering No

These macros gives me the same results

Code:

Sub SaveAsCSVviaVBA() ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" & "csv Text file Chaos\" & "CSV (Comma delimited)A1B1A2" & ".csv" ActiveWorkbook.Close End Sub

Code:

Sub SaveAsCSVviaVBAxlcsv() ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" & "csv Text file Chaos\" & "CSV (Comma delimited)A1B1A2" & ".csv", FileFormat:=xlCSV ActiveWorkbook.Close End Sub

https://excel.tips.net/T003232_Speci...n_a_Macro.html -- printer line save ……. This works this way by design in VBA. The Excel implementation of the export routines for VBA always use whatever the Windows regional settings are to determine how items in a CSV should be separated. Specifically, the routine looks at the List Separator field for the delimiter. This means that you can, if desired, change the delimiter to a semicolon by changing the List Separator setting in your regional settings configuration.
If you don't want to change the regional settings, then you can instead write your own macro that will output the file in any way you desire. Consider, for a moment, the following macro, which will output the file:

Strange saving of "csv” files

Strange saving of “csv” files in Excel
Lets clarify and look in more detail at the strange saving of the files. In addition when we do it manually, we will run a macro recording
We will concentrate on the CSV (______)A1B1A2.csv

Comma delimited
Initially, if you are starting from Excel with more than one worksheet showing, then an initial pop up warns you of this:
PopUpWarningOfMultipleSheets.JPG : https://imgur.com/QLscU1a
https://i.imgur.com/QLscU1a.jpg

This initial pop up will not be shown if you have just one sheet showing at the Save stage

Assuming we have said OK at the above pop up, or have not had this pop up, we examine now the set of pop ups that occur always..
In both cases answering with Yes
On the SaveAs ( or Save ) I get this prompt
SaveAs or Save CSV (Comma delimited).JPG : : https://imgur.com/SQPHjWI
WarningOnManualSaveOrSaveAScsv(Comma delimited).JPG : https://imgur.com/QiH8phI
https://i.imgur.com/QiH8phI.jpg

and these 2 prompts on the Close, ( the second of which is identical to that from the Save or SaveAs )
this first being strange since I already just Saved the file
AskToSaveTheChangesAfterSave CSV (Comma delimited).JPG : : https://imgur.com/8ih47Ty
FirstWarningOnManualClose CSV (Comma delimited).jpg : https://imgur.com/dAxojzW
https://i.imgur.com/dAxojzW.jpg

The second is identical to that on the save : https://imgur.com/SQPHjWI
SecondWarningOnManualClose CSV (Comma delimited).JPG : https://imgur.com/TY9eBqq
https://i.imgur.com/TY9eBqq.jpg

The files as seen in test editor, or from my function, after is like
CellA1;CellA2
CellA3;
The given macro coding from the macro recorder.

Code:

Sub CSVTests() ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="F:\Excel0202015Jan2016\ExcelFox\vixer\csv Text file Chaos\CSV (Comma delimited)A1B1A2.csv", FileFormat:=xlCSV, CreateBackup:=False ActiveWorkbook.Save: ActiveWindow.Close End Sub

If I answer No for the attempt at Save or SaveAs, then I will get the option to save as an Excel file
Answer No on SaveAs or Save CSV (Comma delimited).JPG : https://imgur.com/uXWo8vz

If I answer Yes for the attempt at Save or SaveAs, but then on Close , answer No to the first prompt, then I get that first prompt only: I don’t get the second prompt. But,
_there is a no difference in the macro from the macro recorder
and
_there is no difference in the file seen in a text editor after.

Should I now open manually the file, I find that the file has the values put, one in each cell, to reproduce the file such that it looks exactly as I created it originally
If I run the macro obtained from the macro recorder, then on the SaveAs or Save , I don’t get any prompt
On Close I get the first prompt only
DoYouWantToSaveChangesOnCloseDespiteAlreadySavedCS V with maco.JPG : https://imgur.com/BihBGOH
If I answer Yes or No , the file is saved without the second prompt as was the manual case.
Strangely, my file as seen in a text editor is different to that obtained whilst manually doing the recording: It has now commas as the separator/delimiter
cellA1,cellB1
cellA2,
Should I open this now manually, I will find that my row data is spit as before, but , I loose the columns, - that is to say the entire row information, including the , separator appear in the first column. So what is happening is that the , separator is not being recognised as a separator, and instead is being taken as pure text: My file is being seen as a text file having just rows of text, with no separator: In other words it could be regarded as a text file intended to hold the text values to be inserted into column A of an Excel File-

_Row\^Col
A

B

1
CellA1,CellA2

2
CellA3,

The conclusions are that manually closing I always get the ; as separator/delimiter, and by closing with a macro I always get the ,
Lets just say that again in another way. I do anything manually, and I end up with ; as the separator
I do anything with a macro and I end up with the , as separator.
Even if I record a macro when doing it manually, that same macro if run later will end up giving me the , as separator. This last point is likely to be a source of possible confusion

Just for completeness, the next post will check the same for saving as CSV Macintosh and CSV MS-DOS

This post repeats the processes and discussions of last post for saving as CSV Macintosh and CSV MS-DOS. ( We will assume we only have one worksheet showing at the start , so will not have the initial pop up warning ( https://imgur.com/QLscU1a )

Macintosh
We record a macro whilst doing Save, SaveAs , Close.
We find that we get the following warnings, answering always Yes

Save or SaveAs

https://i.imgur.com/Q20iknI.jpg

Here is the macro obtained from the recorder.

Code:

Sub SaveSaveAsCloseMacintoshCSV() ' https://excelfox.com/forum/showthread.php/2559-Notes-tests-text-files-manipulation-of-text-files-in-Excel-and-with-Excel-VBA?p=13741&viewfull=1#post13741 ' Save manually ActiveWorkbook.Save ' SaveAs manually ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="F:\Excel0202015Jan2016\ExcelFox\vixer\csv Text file Chaos\CSV (Macintosh)A1B1A2.csv", FileFormat:=xlCSVMac, CreateBackup:=False ' Warnings same for both: https://imgur.com/jCJ5XjK ' Close manually ActiveWorkbook.Save: ActiveWorkbook.Close ' two warnings obtained : https://imgur.com/sShcoNq , https://imgur.com/Q20iknI End Sub

This is what it the produced text file, like in a text editor
answering always Yes
cellA1;cellB1cellA2;

Note: if I copy and paste that into Word, then I get
cellA1;cellB1
callA2;

Analysing what is there I see the typical results expected for a Macintosh csv file
"cellA1" & ";" & "cellB1" & vbCr & "callA2" & ";" & vbCr & vbLf

If I say No on the Close, then I get only that warning: The file closes without the second warning. But the results are the same

If I run the recorded macro, ( on a newly made file ) , then there is no warning pop up on Save or SaveAs. I just get the single warning asking me if I want to save the changes on Close ( despite already with the preceding coding having Saved and SaveAsd and Saved before the Close
MacroRunWarningOnCloseForSavingChangesDespiteAlrea dySavedMacintoshCSV.JPG : https://imgur.com/KYp1AYw
The resulting text file has commas , for the separator
CellA1,CellB1CellA2,
I get the same results if I answer Yes or No to the warning

CSV (MS-DOS)
We record a macro on Save, SaveAs , Close. We get the following warnings, answering always Yes

Save or SaveAs

Manual Close CSV (MS-DOS) second warning.JPG : https://imgur.com/sCPSmFX
https://i.imgur.com/vkikEUS.jpg

This macro is obtained

Code:

Sub ManualSaveSaveAsCloseCSV_MS_DOS_() ' Manual Save ActiveWorkbook.Save ' Manual SaveAs ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="F:\Excel0202015Jan2016\ExcelFox\vixer\csv Text file Chaos\CSV (MS-DOS)A1B1A2.csv", FileFormat:=xlCSVMSDOS, CreateBackup:=False ' warning same for both https://imgur.com/vkikEUS ' Close manually ActiveWorkbook.Save: ActiveWindow.Close ' two warnings obtained https://imgur.com/uvh64E6 , https://imgur.com/sCPSmFX End Sub

If I say No on the Close, then I get only that warning: The file closes without the second warning. But the results are the same.

The resulting text file looks like this
cellA1;cellB1
callA2;

If I run the macro produced from the macro recording, then I only get the first warning on at the Close
MacroRunWarningOnCloseForSavingChangesDespiteAlrea dySavedCSVMSDOS.JPG : https://imgur.com/aCzwGqa
https://i.imgur.com/aCzwGqa.jpg

It makes no difference if I answer Yes or No
The results are that I get a file with comma , as the delimiter
cellA1,cellB1
callA2,

Final Conclusions on Save SaveAs Close for the 3 CSV file types
The following conclusions are in general identical for the three CSV types
In my Excel, if I try to save or close manually a file as CSV type, then the separator becomes a ;
Any attempt to do the same with a macro always results in a , as the separator, ( even if the macro had been derived from a macro recording when doing it manually which resulted in the ; as separator ).
It makes no difference to the results by selecting a YES or No on any of the two possible prompts on a Close.
( The single prompt on a Save or SaveAs gives me the chance to go back to the save dialogue to choose an extension other than .csv)

to create a text file output of the WotchaGot string
This is useful for large files, since cell content and Immediate Window text size is limited,

Code:

The output produced by the macro ( shown in worksheet “TextToTabular” ) of the uploaded file, “tt_ExtraminationsRock.xls” , is very similar to the “Sample.pdf” – I can see some discrepancies in the column for Followers This is because two numbers are completely missing from the text file ( 958 and 17145 ) –

If I make text file with nothing in it and then after look at the text file with the following macro ..._

Code:

' A virgin text file Sub AVirginTextFile() ' 1 Make a virgin text file Dim FileNum2 As Long: Let FileNum2 = FreeFile(0) ' https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vba/language-reference-vba/articles/freefile-function Dim PathAndFileName2 As String Let PathAndFileName2 = ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" & "NoText.txt" ' CHANGE path TO SUIT Open PathAndFileName2 For Output As #FileNum2 Dim NoText As String Print #FileNum2, NoText ' write out entire text file, the file is made if not there Close #FileNum2 ' 2a) Get the text file as a long single string Dim FileNum As Long: Let FileNum = FreeFile(1) ' https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vba/language-reference-vba/articles/freefile-function Dim PathAndFileName As String, TotalFile As String Let PathAndFileName = ThisWorkbook.Path & Application.PathSeparator & "NoText.txt" ' CHANGE TO SUIT From vixer zyxw1234 : http://www.eileenslounge.com/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=34629 DF.txt https://app.box.com/s/gw941dh9v8sqhvzin3lo9rfc67fjsbic Open PathAndFileName For Binary As #FileNum 'Open Route to data. Binary is a fundamental type data input... Let TotalFile = Space(LOF(FileNum)) '....and wot receives it has to be a string of exactly the right length Get #FileNum, , TotalFile 'Debug.Print TotalFile Close #FileNum Call WtchaGot_Unic_NotMuchIfYaChoppedItOff(TotalFile) End Sub

_... then I will see nothing at all in Notepad, and from my WotchaGot function it will tell me that I have
vbCr & vbLf

If I Let NoText = "x" , and repeat the experiment, I see in notepad .._

Code:

x

_.. and my function tells me that I have
"x" & vbCr & vbLf

Here are some more experiments, and the results:
Let NoText = "x" & vbCr & "x"
"x" & vbCr & "x" & vbCr & vbLf

Code:

xx

Let NoText = "x" & vbLf & "x"
"x" & vbLf & "x" & vbCr & vbLf

Code:

xx

Let NoText = "x" & vbCr & vbLf & "x"
"x" & vbCr & vbLf & "x" & vbCr & vbLf

Code:

x x

Let NoText = "x" & vbLf & vbCr & "x"
"x" & vbLf & vbCr & "x" & vbCr & vbLf

Code:

xx

If I repeat the experiment using extension .csv instead of .txt everywhere in my macro, then the results are identical.
So it appears that notepad only recognises the pair vbCr & vbLf as a new line

( Note: if I open any of the files ( .txt or .csv ) in Excel , using any default settings, then for the case of the vbLf or the vbCr or the pair vbCr & vbLf then Excel always seems to add a line and I see

For the case of using vbLf & vbCr, using the default settings opening in Excel the .txt file also gives the same result, but strangely for the .csv file we see an extra line

https://excelfox.com/forum/showthrea...ge51#post12776

In one of those Posts we figured out how to get a text file 3 column list of the service´s Name , DisplayName and StartType, using a single PowerShell script commandlet.
Here I want to automate that a bit.
First I reduced the text file a bit to this

Code:

Name DisplayName StartType ---- ----------- --------- AarSvc_72b48 Agent Activation Runtime_72b48 Manual AJRouter AllJoyn-Routerdienst Manual ALG Gatewaydienst auf Anwendungsebene Manual ApHidMonitorService AlpsAlpine SMBus Monitor Service Automatic

The I took a look using this

Code:

Sub LookInFirstBitOfTextString() ' https://excelfox.com/forum/showthread.php/2408-Windows-10-and-Office-Excel/page51#post12776 ' Get the text file as a long single string Dim FileNum As Long: Let FileNum = FreeFile(1) ' https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vba/language-reference-vba/articles/freefile-function Dim PathAndFileName As String, TotalFile As String Let PathAndFileName = ThisWorkbook.Path & Application.PathSeparator & "test4lines.txt" ' CHANGE TO SUIT From vixer zyxw1234 : http://www.eileenslounge.com/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=34629 DF.txt https://app.box.com/s/gw941dh9v8sqhvzin3lo9rfc67fjsbic Open PathAndFileName For Binary As #FileNum 'Open Route to data. Binary is a fundamental type data input... Let TotalFile = Space(LOF(FileNum)) '....and wot receives it has to be a string of exactly the right length Get #FileNum, , TotalFile 'Debug.Print TotalFile Close #FileNum Call WtchaGot_Unic_NotMuchIfYaChoppedItOff(TotalFile) End Sub

That produced a total strong with rather a lot of CHR(0)s
https://i.postimg.cc/t43HCQr9/Rather...of-Chr-0-s.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/LJ8WN7KW/Rather...of-Chr-0-s.jpg
So I modified the code a bit to take them out, since I am not too interested in them, and I am not sure what they might do. This is a mod I would most likely want to do permanently, and initially now, I would like to do it as its obscuring the main stuff I want to see: That is easily done with TotalFile = Replace(TotalFile, Chr(0), "", 1, -1, vbBinaryCompare)
After that it looks a bit better.
I have 4 characters at the start, Chr(255) Chr(254) vbCr vbLf , which I can probably do away with as well, same again: TotalFile = Replace(TotalFile, Chr(255) & Chr(254) & vbCr & vbLf , "", 1, 1, vbBinaryCompare) ( Altertnativel we can just consider the Chr(255) & Chr(254) as the first line and disregard that later.)
The title line I could probably do away with as well, as I know what it is, or rather I know the 3 header words that I am interested in, as well as the order that they come in, "Name DisplayName StartType"
and
I can forget about the second line as well, as it seems to be just some dashes used to underline the headers.
So I will be disregarding the first 2 ( or 3 ) lines

The line separator is as expected, vbCr & vbLf . ( There are few extra trailing ones. I can leave those, as I don’t think they will confuse much of my further plans for manipulating the total string

My plan will be to split by the vbCr & vbLf to get 1 dimensional array or the rows.
The separator just seems to be a lot of spaces. As I have three text things that I want on each row, and they appear to have no spaces in them, I can do a simple bit of text manipulation to get at those three words at each row.
After that, putting each word in a “row” of a 2 D array of 3 “columns” will be convenient to then paste out in an Excel worksheet

This does all that

Code:

' make array for output Dim arrOut() As String: ReDim arrOut(1 To UBound(arrRws()) - 2, 1 To 3) ' we are ignoring the first 3 lines. The UBound of the 1 dimensional array is already 1 less then the lines we need because a 1 dimensional array starts at 0 Dim Cnt As Long For Cnt = 1 To UBound(arrRws()) - 2 If arrRws(Cnt + 2) = "" Then ' This should occur at the last empty rows, so we could consider jumping out of the loop here Else ' time to split the line string Dim Pos1 As Long: Let Pos1 = InStr(1, arrRws(Cnt + 2), " ", vbBinaryCompare) Dim Nme As String: Let Nme = Left(arrRws(Cnt + 2), Pos1 - 1) Dim Pos3 As Long: Let Pos3 = Len(arrRws(Cnt + 2)) - InStrRev(arrRws(Cnt + 2), " ", -1, vbBinaryCompare) Dim StrtTyp As String: Let StrtTyp = Right(arrRws(Cnt + 2), Pos3) Dim DispNme As String: Let DispNme = Replace(arrRws(Cnt + 2), Nme, "", 1, -1, vbBinaryCompare) Let DispNme = Replace(DispNme, StrtTyp, "", 1, -1, vbBinaryCompare) Let DispNme = Trim(DispNme) ' fill the array for output Let arrOut(Cnt, 1) = Nme: arrOut(Cnt, 2) = DispNme: arrOut(Cnt, 3) = StrtTyp End If Next Cnt

The rest is just pasting that arrOut() directly in a spreadsheet
