converting txt file into an excel spreadsheet

[water]

Microsoft offers the COM (Component Object Model) for Excel. AutoIt allows to access Excel via COM. So the help file for Excel COM can be found searching MS (Excel 2007 can be found here and Excel 2010 here).

Failing that, you can also use the AutoItX.DLL file inside Excel, if you're more comfortable with VBA scripting.

Is there a reason why you don't just open the txt files with Excel? If not, I suggest doing so to simplify your code. You can specify which row to start appending the data from your text file in the Excel file with a delimiter of your choice. Afterwards, you can add your row descriptions with a column insert.

I didn't know that I could do that. I did try it and but all the data is vertical and not horizontal.

If you want to attempt to use the method of Excel opening your text files for your solution you could try these two options:

1 - Create a quick script to change the CRLF to tabs and your ";" to CRLF in your text files. Excel will treat tabs in a text line the same as if you pressed it moving the active cell to the next adjacent cell (left to right) before assigning the string.

2 - Use Selection.PasteSpecial with corresponding parameters to cut and paste with transpose.
