Excel Import character set
I am importing multiple text files in to excel using the code below but I need to change the character set of the origin file as the files aren't importing the test correctly. If I manually import the file I can change it and its file.
Sub ReadFilesIntoActiveSheet()
Dim fso As FileSystemObject
Dim folder As folder
Dim file As file
Dim FileText As TextStream
Dim TextLine As String
Dim Items() As String
Dim i As Long
Dim cl As Range
' Get a FileSystem object
Set fso = New FileSystemObject
' get the directory you want
Set folder = fso.GetFolder("C:\tmp\")
' set the starting point to write the data to
Set cl = ActiveSheet.Cells(1, 1)
' Loop thru all files in the folder
For Each file In folder.Files
' Open the file
Set FileText = file.OpenAsTextStream(ForR eading)
' Read the file one line at a time
Do While Not FileText.AtEndOfStream
TextLine = FileText.ReadLine
' Parse the line into | delimited pieces
Items = Split(TextLine, "|")
' Put data on one row in active sheet
For i = 0 To UBound(Items)
cl.Offset(0, i).Value = Items(i)
Next
' Move to next row
Set cl = cl.Offset(1, 0)
Loop
' Clean up
FileText.Close
Next file
Set FileText = Nothing
Set file = Nothing
Set folder = Nothing
Set fso = Nothing
End Sub
Sub ReadFilesIntoActiveSheet()
Dim fso As FileSystemObject
Dim folder As folder
Dim file As file
Dim FileText As TextStream
Dim TextLine As String
Dim Items() As String
Dim i As Long
Dim cl As Range
' Get a FileSystem object
Set fso = New FileSystemObject
' get the directory you want
Set folder = fso.GetFolder("C:\tmp\")
' set the starting point to write the data to
Set cl = ActiveSheet.Cells(1, 1)
' Loop thru all files in the folder

' Open the file
Set FileText = file.OpenAsTextStream(ForR
' Read the file one line at a time
Do While Not FileText.AtEndOfStream
TextLine = FileText.ReadLine
' Parse the line into | delimited pieces
Items = Split(TextLine, "|")
' Put data on one row in active sheet
For i = 0 To UBound(Items)
cl.Offset(0, i).Value = Items(i)
Next
' Move to next row
Set cl = cl.Offset(1, 0)
Loop
' Clean up
FileText.Close
Next file
Set FileText = Nothing
Set file = Nothing
Set folder = Nothing
Set fso = Nothing

I converted the files first using another program
Change
Set FileText = file.OpenAsTextStream(ForR
to
Set FileText = file.OpenAsTextStream(ForR
