G Guest Oct 6, 2005 #1 I need to open up 50 text files and merge them into a worksheet (in less than 50 moves)?
D Dave Peterson Oct 6, 2005 #2 Shell to a command prompt windows start button|run cmd (in winXP and WinNT) Command (in win98) Traverse to your folder that contains those 50 text files. If they're not in a dedicated folder, create a new folder and copy them there. Then type this: copy *.txt Giant.All (and you'll have one giant text file named Giant.All) Then back to excel and file|open, point at Giant.all and follow the text import wizard.
