<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a text file that contains thousands of record sets. &nbsp;For each of these record sets, the last record starts with SE*.<br />
<br />
I want to programatically add several records directly before this record in each record set. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Example: Here is an example of the the record set. &nbsp;For record set A and B they both end with SE* Record. &nbsp;I basically need to be able to add 4 additional records before each of the SE* Records. &nbsp;The records to add are all the same. &nbsp;So say in my VB macro I run in Word will need to find the first SE* Record, and add the 4 records above it (just call these New record 1, New Record 2, New Record 3.... &nbsp;Then loop through the rest of the file finding each of the remaining SE* Records and add the same 4 records as mentioned previosly.<br />

Record 1a<br />
Record 1b<br />
Record 1c<br />
Record 1d<br />
New Record 1<br />
New Record 2<br />
New Record 3<br />
New Record 4<br />

Programatically add section of records in a text file

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.

VBScript is commonly used for automating administrative and other tasks in Windows operating systems (by means of the Windows Script Host) and for server-side scripting in ASP web applications. It is also used for client-side scripting in Internet Explorer, specifically in intranet web applications.
