Re: [PcTech] Quick Way to Delete Large amount data in Word

["Adam Lang" <aalang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

bah, more fun to write the code ytourself :p
Save the following code to a text file with a .vbs extension.  Modify the
filenames to be appropriate.  Message box pops up at the end when it is done
parsing.  Beware wordwrap.

Dim MyFSO
Dim tsInFile
Dim tsOutFile
Dim iCounter
Dim iFileCount

Const ForReading = 1, ForWriting = 2, ForAppending = 8

iCounter = 1
iFileCount = 1

Set MyFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set tsInFile = MyFSO.OpenTextFile("c:\access.log", ForReading)
Set tsOutFile = MyFSO.OpenTextFile("c:\outfile" & iFileCount & ".csv",
ForWriting, True)

Do

If iCounter = 60000 Then
    iCounter = 1
    tsOutFile.Close
    iFileCount = iFileCount + 1
    Set tsOutFile = MyFSO.OpenTextFile("c:\outfile" & iFileCount & ".csv",
ForWriting, True)
End If

tsOutFile.WriteLine (tsInFile.ReadLine)

iCounter = iCounter + 1
Loop Until tsInFile.AtEndOfStream

tsInFile.Close
tsOutFile.Close

msgbox "done"

Set tsOutFile = Nothing
Set tsInFile = Nothing
Set MyFSO = Nothing
