I have created a macro that generates txt files with data from every row in excel. I have problem with " (quotation marks)
Here is a line from VBA that makes problems:
wsTemp.Cells(6, 1).Value = "The ""Number"" is " & wsSource.Cells(r, 3).Value
I need this: The "Number" is MYNUMBER
Instead of i get this: " The ""Number"" is" MYNUMBER
This does not work either:
wsTemp.Cells(6, 1).Value = "The" & Chr(34) & "Number"" is " & Chr(34) & wsSource.Cells(r, 3).Val
(got the same output)
I tried replacing ""
with Chr(34)
(didn't worked)
I also tried replace function at the end:
wsTemp.Cells(6, 1).Value = Replace(wsTemp.Cells(6, 1).Value, """", """)
(didn't worked) and
wsTemp.Cells(6, 1).Value = Replace(wsTemp.Cells(6, 1).Value, """", Chr(34))
(didn't worked as well)
Replace() does works with other Chr()
or with Replace(wsTemp.Cells(6, 1).Value, """", "")
but not with Chr(34)
Anyway, i need one ", not two ' or anything else
I am saving generated files as xlCurrentPlatformText and .txt, I have also tried other formats
Also, I have noticed this when I manually saved the same text from excel as txt
I have tried almost everything and nothing worked
I am using Win 7 and Excel 2013
So i did it as @xidgel suddgested, with FindAndReplaceText (fart)
I replaced all "
with $$$$
I created a file replace.bat
fart -r "MYLOCATION*.txt" $$$$ \"
And added shell execute command at the end of vba macro
Call Shell("C:\LOCATION\replace.bat", vbNormalFocus)
