    Selectively transferring data from a text file

    I'm looking for some Excel VBA code which takes price data from
    a CSV text file like the one below and looks for the same initial
    three-letter code in the spreadsheet, then inserts the price (from
    the sixth column into the price column on the spreadsheet.
    It needs to loop through the whole text file of course.
    Anyone have some code which might do this or something
    similar please?

    AAF,01,0.4,0.5,0.4,0.5,15000
    AAM,01,15.5,15.5,14.5,15,3170
