Looping through files in a folder

[prepotency]

I'm trying to loop through all the *.?XT files in the given folder
e.g. xyzcompany.#XT abccomopany.TXT etc..

My code is stuck in some sort of loop that crashes excel. I think it comes from using the Dir() statement. See what you can glean:


MyFile = Dir(CurDir() & "\*.?XT")

Do While MyFile <> ""
Open MyFile For Input As #1

For i = 1 To 3
Line Input #1, txt
Next

... code that parses the file and gets some information ...

Close
MyFile = Dir() 'next file in the directory

Loop



so i can see that it's getting the information because it outputs the information to my spreasheet but after it gets all the info it goes into an infinite loop

thoughts?

Figured it out. ROFL.

It's because my top part where I loop through 3 times needs a

If Not EOF(1) Then

but all the files in the directory have more than 3 lines in them. so why is this necessary?
