DF.txt
Text file, DF.txt https://app.box.com/s/gw941dh9v8sqhvzin3lo9rfc67fjsbic
Original uploaded DF.txt looked like this as seen for example using a Text Editor. ( Notepad is just one of many available text editors )
10,18052020,9.23,0015378
20,1018GS2026,GS,IN0020010081,0.00,0.00,10.00,0.00 ,0.00,10.00
20,1025GS2021,GS,IN0020010040,0.00,0.00 ……..etc.
You are using a comma in DF.txt to separate the values. Because you are using a comma to separate your values , we sometimes call such a file a comma separated values file., and we often give a comma separated values text file the extension .csv. But you don’t have to. It’s is your choice. Both DF.txt or DF.csv is OK. You can use either for your text file.
You have used DF.txt for your comma separated values text file. That is a bit unusual, but it is OK. Its your choice.


This macro will allow us to examine that text file, ( for simplicity I am using a test file example of just 3 rows )

here is the full single string of the text file, shown in two forms:
_ as seen in a text editor
_ in a VBA code line form

10,18052020,9.23,001537820,1018GS2026,GS,IN0020010081,0.00,0.00,10.00,0.00,0.00,10.0020,1025GS2021,GS,IN0020010040,0.00,0.00,10.00,0.00,0.00,10.00
"10" & Chr(44) & "18052020" & Chr(44) & "9" & "." & "23" & Chr(44) & "0015378" & vbCr & vbLf & "20" & Chr(44) & "1018GS2026" & Chr(44) & "GS" & Chr(44) & "IN0020010081" & Chr(44) & "0" & "." & "00" & Chr(44) & "0" & "." & "00" & Chr(44) & "10" & "." & "00" & Chr(44) & "0" & "." & "00" & Chr(44) & "0" & "." & "00" & Chr(44) & "10" & "." & "00" & vbCr & vbLf & "20" & Chr(44) & "1025GS2021" & Chr(44) & "GS" & Chr(44) & "IN0020010040" & Chr(44) & "0" & "." & "00" & Chr(44) & "0" & "." & "00" & Chr(44) & "10" & "." & "00" & Chr(44) & "0" & "." & "00" & Chr(44) & "0" & "." & "00" & Chr(44) & "10" & "." & "00"

here the same again, just shown slightly differently for easy of explanation

"10" & Chr(44) & "18052020" & Chr(44) & "9" & "." & "23" & Chr(44) & "0015378" & vbCr & vbLf
 & "20" & Chr(44) & "1018GS2026" & Chr(44) & "GS" & Chr(44) & "IN0020010081" & Chr(44) & "0" & "." & "00" & Chr(44) & "0" & "." & "00" & Chr(44) & "10" & "." & "00" & Chr(44) & "0" & "." & "00" & Chr(44) & "0" & "." & "00" & Chr(44) & "10" & "." & "00" & vbCr & vbLf 
& "20" & Chr(44) & "1025GS2021" & Chr(44) & "GS" & Chr(44) & "IN0020010040" & Chr(44) & "0" & "." & "00" & Chr(44) & "0" & "." & "00" & Chr(44) & "10" & "." & "00" & Chr(44) & "0" & "." & "00" & Chr(44) & "0" & "." & "00" & Chr(44) & "10" & "." & "00"

we see the value seperator comma , ( character 44 ) and the line seperator, vbCr & vbLf

We analyse using the same macro as above, with this changed code line

 Let PathAndFileName = ThisWorkbook.Path & "\csv Text file Chaos\" & "Alert 24 Mai..csv" '  https://excelfox.com/forum/showthread.php/2500-Conditionally-delete-entire-row-with-calculation-within-files     Share ‘Alert 24 Mai..csv’  :  https://app.box.com/s/599q2it3uck3hfwm5kscmmgtn0be66wt

.csv text file is using commas , for the value separator, and for the line separate it has the typical convention of vbCr & vbLf
