Thank you very much for the example. Here is what I found. After reading the file I wasn't closing the file. Then I was trying to write back to the same file using fso.OpenTextFile(WScript.Arguments(0), 2, True,0).Write txtFile I believe that because I was not closing the file after reading...

Well the files are not empty. I have a 32kb and an 18kb file I am testing with that has data. These files I receive I have no control over. I just have to make them work. I did notice when I write back to the file is when I have a problem. Keep getting invalid procedure call on this line...

Drag and drop the txt file on to the script vbs. via: WScript.Arguments(0)

Sorry. That was left overs from what I was trying using a line by line read till end of stream. It got messy though. Anyway, ignore that. The line is question is strSource = fso.OpenTextFile(WScript.Arguments(0)).ReadAll Error: input past end of file code 800a003e Here is the original...

IM back. I keep running into EOF errors. I have tried diffrent ways, but it keeps messing up my file format. Any ideas. Dim mytextfile Dim newtext Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Dim myReplacer dim strSource Set myReplacer = New reHelper strSource = ReadEntireFile...

Ok, New problem. Any idea how to use regex in vbs to remove null char. Least thats how notepad++ shows them. See screenshot. http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=bbd30bd6-600c-469d-8805-48dbc0525b12&file=nullcharremove.PNG...

Thanks All. You are correct. The screenshot has the wrong font type. My Mistake. Although it does look the same way using a Monospaced font. Strongm you are correct. "Balance SBCS characters and DBCS characters" seems to be the issue. Any Idea how to script turning that off. I can only find how...

Just in case anyone is curious, the script in vb to create the word file and set the expanded spacing is as follows: Function ConvertTxtToWord(TxtFilePath) Dim objshell,ParentFolder,BaseName,wordapp,doc,WordFilePath,objDoc Dim objSelection Set objshell=...

Here is a screenshot. I am thinking something is wrong with my install now as the setting dont save. I have to change them everytime. http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=41851edd-fb3f-45cf-a400-f17b5504e4fd&file=font_settings1.PNG...

Ok I did the same thing no effect till I changed the other settings.....That is going to make me nutty. I appreciate all of your help and sticking with me through this.

I would like to know why I have to change the extra settings and you do not. That seems most odd to me.

Okay so I finally figured it out. I tried multiple editors. word, WPS,openoffice. All do the same thing. First of course select your monospaced font and text size. I then had to Go into font settings of the Office suite you decide to use. Turn off Font Kerning and change the font space setting...

Sorry. Here is a sample of the file. The name and numbers have been changed to protect the innocent. :P...

Yes Courier is a monospace font. However in windows word, it is monospace only in height for some reason, not width. I have tested a bunch of monospace fonts and they all have the same symptom. I found on stock exchange someone was having the same problem, but with a diffrent program...

Ok, so turns out I made an assumption...and we all know what that does. I compared the text file hidden chars with the word file hidden chars. They are the same. There is no tab char, only spaces. So I have been researching MONOSPACE Fonts. Looks like they are not working correctly in word...

I wanted to use word because that is what is on everyone desktop. This will not be for my use but our data clerks. Notepad and notepad++ dont recognize page breaks. Word does. I am up for suggestions. I did try mono space fonts. Doesn't fix it :( The text file come from an asa/400 with old line...

I have a text file that I need some users to open in word. I created the file via VBScript. In notepad or notepad++ the file looks great. Open the same file in word and the tab spacing is all messed up. Some times items in a row are single tabbed, or triple tabbed. What can I do to make it...

Tried that. I just get error line 23. What Found I could do though, since writing it in notepad++, I can hold alt, type 012 release alt and it inserts Page break FF. I can then copy the pagebreak FF and paste it in quotes and it works ! I also now have it saving as DOC and I am working on...

Ok. So I think I need to set encoding on the file or something. Its just a text file. I tried chr(12) but it just shows chr(12) in notepad++ and word. No actual page break.

You guys have been great. StrongGM thank you for your example. The one piece I was missing was regex.multiline. The only problem I have now is inserting a page break. If I use regEx.Replace(fso.OpenTextFile(WScript.Arguments(0)).ReadAll, "ch(12)") instead of inserting the page break it...
