Phil,
Try this. You can change the last argument of GetOpenFilename to true (and
handle the array) to deal with multiple files names.

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim FileName As Variant

FileName = Application.GetOpenFilename("Pipe Separated File (*.psv), *.psv",
, , , False)

If FileName <> False Then
Workbooks.OpenText FileName, xlDelimited, TextQualifier:=xlDoubleQuote,
Tab:=False, _
Semicolon:=False, Comma:=False, Space:=False,
Other:=True, OtherChar:="|"
End If

End Sub

Hi All,

Does anybody know a method so that pipe-delimited-separator text files
can be recognised and handle like CSV files in much the same way ( but
without disturbing CSV handling) ?

My problem is that I have a high volume of standard CSV files and pipe
delimited files. At the moment I have to you the file -> import ->
delimited | method..

Can this be achieved by adding a new file extension, say *.PCSV which
open and handle like CSV files?

Cheers in advance.

That's great. Thanks for the swift response!! My issue now is that I
can open the .psv file, but when I come to save the document, it won't
allow me to keep the pipe delimited format. Would I need to create
another macro to save it as pipe delimited in exactly the same format?

And any idea's how?

Thanks again.
Phil
