One important note at the outset of these notes is that my Excel is default German. I expect therefore issues likely to arise in anything to do with use of a comma , because often the comma , in English for certain things in Excel is replaced with the semi colon ; in German Excel.

Wot’s in a .csv file
In many Excel versions, you have the choice of three different Save As options related to .csv extension files https://excel.tips.net/T002519_Comma-Delimited_Differences_for_PC_and_Mac.html

So lets have a quick look at what the differences are…
In each of the 3 cases I will
make a virgin default template, save it
make a virgin default template, put a value in first cell, save it
make a virgin default template, put a value in first 2 cells, save it
make a virgin default template, put a value in first 2 cells, and in the cell A2, save it
( Initially, when I put values in, I wont hit the Enter after: Initially I want to avoid purposely doing something that may introduce a carriage return or line feed. I will then look further at that issue later )
After this I will investigate the made files , ( using , for example, my Sub WtchaGot_Unic_NotMuchIfYaChoppedItOff(ByVal strIn As String) ) ' https://excelfox.com/forum/showthread.php/2302-quot-What%E2%80%99s-in-a-String-quot-VBA-break-down-Loop-through-character-contents-of-a-string ' https://excelfox.com/forum/showthread.php/2302-quot-What%E2%80%99s-in-a-String-quot-VBA-break-down-Loop-through-character-contents-of-a-string?p=11015&viewfull=1#post11015
https://excelfox.com/forum/showthread.php/2345-Appendix-Thread-(-Codes-for-other-Threads-HTML-Tables-etc-)?p=13699&viewfull=1#post13699

Here are the results ( It is a summary of what my function tells me is in those made files ) :

CSV (Comma delimited)Empty.csv
vbCr & vbLf

CSV (Macintosh)Empty.csv
vbCr & vbLf

CSV (MS-DOS)Empty.csv
vbCr & vbLf

CSV (Comma delimited)A1.csvcellA1
"cellA1" & vbCr & vbLf

CSV (Macintosh)A1.csvcellA1
"cellA1" & vbCr & vbLf

CSV (MS-DOS)A1.csvcellA1
"cellA1" & vbCr & vbLf

CSV (Comma delimited)A1B1.csvcellA1;cellB1
"cellA1" & ";" & "cellB1" & vbCr & vbLf

CSV (Macintosh)A1B1.csvcellA1;cellB1
"cellA1" & ";" & "cellB1" & vbCr & vbLf

CSV (MS-DOS)A1B1.csvcellA1;cellB1
"cellA1" & ";" & "cellB1" & vbCr & vbLf

CSV (Comma delimited)A1B1A2.csvcellA1;cellB1
callA2;
"cellA1" & ";" & "cellB1" & vbCr & vbLf & "callA2" & ";" & vbCr & vbLf

CSV (Macintosh)A1B1A2.csvcellA1;cellB1
callA2;
"cellA1" & ";" & "cellB1" & vbCr & "callA2" & ";" & vbCr & vbLf

CSV (MS-DOS)A1B1A2.csvcellA1;cellB1
callA2;
"cellA1" & ";" & "cellB1" & vbCr & vbLf & "callA2" & ";" & vbCr & vbLf

Important Conclusions are
_ the Macintosh distinguishes itself with a carriage return character, vbCr , as the line separator for introduced lines
_ There is always a last vbCr & vbLf – Note this means that for a single line, or empty file, we could not tell if we had a Macintosh

When closing the file, I was prompted to answer if I wanted to save changes or not. ( I chose yes in the last experiment ). This is strange since I had previously saved the files before closing
DoYouWantToSaveChangesOnCloseDespiteAlreadySavedCS V.JPG : https://imgur.com/nfnVwSF
But it does not seem to have any effect if I chose Yes or No
Some other observations.
If I use a simple macro, as below, to save and close the file ( and except the changes, which I am still strangely asked for , with Yes), then I get commas instead for the separator/delimiter

Sub SaveCSVviaVBA()
ActiveWorkbook.Save
ActiveWorkbook.Close
End Sub
I get the same results for answering No

These macros gives me the same results

Sub SaveAsCSVviaVBA()
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" & "csv Text file Chaos\" & "CSV (Comma delimited)A1B1A2" & ".csv"
ActiveWorkbook.Close
End Sub

Sub SaveAsCSVviaVBAxlcsv()
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" & "csv Text file Chaos\" & "CSV (Comma delimited)A1B1A2" & ".csv", FileFormat:=xlCSV
ActiveWorkbook.Close
End Sub

https://excel.tips.net/T003232_Specifying_a_Delimiter_when_Saving_a_CSV_F ile_in_a_Macro.html -- printer line save ……. This works this way by design in VBA. The Excel implementation of the export routines for VBA always use whatever the Windows regional settings are to determine how items in a CSV should be separated. Specifically, the routine looks at the List Separator field for the delimiter. This means that you can, if desired, change the delimiter to a semicolon by changing the List Separator setting in your regional settings configuration.
If you don't want to change the regional settings, then you can instead write your own macro that will output the file in any way you desire. Consider, for a moment, the following macro, which will output the file:

Strange saving of “csv” files in Excel
Lets clarify and look in more detail at the strange saving of the files. In addition when we do it manually, we will run a macro recording
We will concentrate on the CSV (______)A1B1A2.csv

Comma delimited
Initially, if you are starting from Excel with more than one worksheet showing, then an initial pop up warns you of this:
PopUpWarningOfMultipleSheets.JPG : https://imgur.com/QLscU1a
https://i.imgur.com/QLscU1a.jpg

This initial pop up will not be shown if you have just one sheet showing at the Save stage

Assuming we have said OK at the above pop up, or have not had this pop up, we examine now the set of pop ups that occur always..
In both cases answering with Yes
On the SaveAs ( or Save ) I get this prompt
SaveAs or Save CSV (Comma delimited).JPG : : https://imgur.com/SQPHjWI
WarningOnManualSaveOrSaveAScsv(Comma delimited).JPG : https://imgur.com/QiH8phI
https://i.imgur.com/QiH8phI.jpg

and these 2 prompts on the Close, ( the second of which is identical to that from the Save or SaveAs )
this first being strange since I already just Saved the file
AskToSaveTheChangesAfterSave CSV (Comma delimited).JPG : : https://imgur.com/8ih47Ty
FirstWarningOnManualClose CSV (Comma delimited).jpg : https://imgur.com/dAxojzW
https://i.imgur.com/dAxojzW.jpg

The second is identical to that on the save : https://imgur.com/SQPHjWI
SecondWarningOnManualClose CSV (Comma delimited).JPG : https://imgur.com/TY9eBqq
https://i.imgur.com/TY9eBqq.jpg

The files as seen in test editor, or from my function, after is like
CellA1;CellA2
CellA3;
The given macro coding from the macro recorder.

Sub CSVTests()
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="F:\Excel0202015Jan2016\ExcelFox\vixer\csv Text file Chaos\CSV (Comma delimited)A1B1A2.csv", FileFormat:=xlCSV, CreateBackup:=False
ActiveWorkbook.Save: ActiveWindow.Close
End Sub

If I answer No for the attempt at Save or SaveAs, then I will get the option to save as an Excel file
Answer No on SaveAs or Save CSV (Comma delimited).JPG : https://imgur.com/uXWo8vz

If I answer Yes for the attempt at Save or SaveAs, but then on Close , answer No to the first prompt, then I get that first prompt only: I don’t get the second prompt. But,
_there is a no difference in the macro from the macro recorder
and
_there is no difference in the file seen in a text editor after.

Should I now open manually the file, I find that the file has the values put, one in each cell, to reproduce the file such that it looks exactly as I created it originally
If I run the macro obtained from the macro recorder, then on the SaveAs or Save , I don’t get any prompt
On Close I get the first prompt only
DoYouWantToSaveChangesOnCloseDespiteAlreadySavedCS V with maco.JPG : https://imgur.com/BihBGOH
If I answer Yes or No , the file is saved without the second prompt as was the manual case.
Strangely, my file as seen in a text editor is different to that obtained whilst manually doing the recording: It has now commas as the separator/delimiter
cellA1,cellB1
cellA2,
Should I open this now manually, I will find that my row data is spit as before, but , I loose the columns, - that is to say the entire row information, including the , separator appear in the first column. So what is happening is that the , separator is not being recognised as a separator, and instead is being taken as pure text: My file is being seen as a text file having just rows of text, with no separator: In other words it could be regarded as a text file intended to hold the text values to be inserted into column A of an Excel File-
Row\Col
A
B

1CellA1,CellA2

2CellA3,

The conclusions are that manually closing I always get the ; as separator/delimiter, and by closing with a macro I always get the ,
Lets just say that again in another way. I do anything manually, and I end up with ; as the separator
I do anything with a macro and I end up with the , as separator.
Even if I record a macro when doing it manually, that same macro if run later will end up giving me the , as separator. This last point is likely to be a source of possible confusion

Just for completeness, the next post will check the same for saving as CSV Macintosh and CSV MS-DOS

This post repeats the processes and discussions of last post for saving as CSV Macintosh and CSV MS-DOS. ( We will assume we only have one worksheet showing at the start , so will not have the initial pop up warning ( https://imgur.com/QLscU1a )

Macintosh
We record a macro whilst doing Save, SaveAs , Close.
We find that we get the following warnings, answering always Yes

Save or SaveAs
WarnugOnSaveOrSaveAsMacintoshCSV.JPG : https://imgur.com/jCJ5XjK
https://i.imgur.com/jCJ5XjK.jpg

Close

SecondWarningOnClose SameAsWarningOnSaveOrSaveAsMacintoshCSV.JPG : https://imgur.com/Q20iknI
https://i.imgur.com/Q20iknI.jpg

Here is the macro obtained from the recorder.

Sub SaveSaveAsCloseMacintoshCSV() ' https://excelfox.com/forum/showthread.php/2559-Notes-tests-text-files-manipulation-of-text-files-in-Excel-and-with-Excel-VBA?p=13741&viewfull=1#post13741
' Save manually
ActiveWorkbook.Save
' SaveAs manually
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="F:\Excel0202015Jan2016\ExcelFox\vixer\csv Text file Chaos\CSV (Macintosh)A1B1A2.csv", FileFormat:=xlCSVMac, CreateBackup:=False
' Warnings same for both: https://imgur.com/jCJ5XjK

' Close manually
ActiveWorkbook.Save: ActiveWorkbook.Close
' two warnings obtained : https://imgur.com/sShcoNq , https://imgur.com/Q20iknI
End Sub

This is what it the produced text file, like in a text editor
answering always Yes
cellA1;cellB1cellA2;

Note: if I copy and paste that into Word, then I get
cellA1;cellB1
callA2;

Analysing what is there I see the typical results expected for a Macintosh csv file
"cellA1" & ";" & "cellB1" & vbCr & "callA2" & ";" & vbCr & vbLf

If I say No on the Close, then I get only that warning: The file closes without the second warning. But the results are the same

If I run the recorded macro, ( on a newly made file ) , then there is no warning pop up on Save or SaveAs. I just get the single warning asking me if I want to save the changes on Close ( despite already with the preceding coding having Saved and SaveAsd and Saved before the Close
MacroRunWarningOnCloseForSavingChangesDespiteAlrea dySavedMacintoshCSV.JPG : https://imgur.com/KYp1AYw
The resulting text file has commas , for the separator
CellA1,CellB1CellA2,
I get the same results if I answer Yes or No to the warning

CSV (MS-DOS)
We record a macro on Save, SaveAs , Close. We get the following warnings, answering always Yes

Save or SaveAs
Manual SaveAs or Save CSV (MS-DOS) warning.JPG : https://imgur.com/vkikEUS
https://i.imgur.com/sCPSmFX.jpg

Close
Manual Close CSV (MS-DOS) first warning.JPG : https://imgur.com/uvh64E6
https://i.imgur.com/uvh64E6.jpg
Manual Close CSV (MS-DOS) second warning.JPG : https://imgur.com/sCPSmFX
https://i.imgur.com/vkikEUS.jpg

This macro is obtained

Sub ManualSaveSaveAsCloseCSV_MS_DOS_()
' Manual Save
ActiveWorkbook.Save
' Manual SaveAs
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="F:\Excel0202015Jan2016\ExcelFox\vixer\csv Text file Chaos\CSV (MS-DOS)A1B1A2.csv", FileFormat:=xlCSVMSDOS, CreateBackup:=False
' warning same for both https://imgur.com/vkikEUS

' Close manually
ActiveWorkbook.Save: ActiveWindow.Close
' two warnings obtained https://imgur.com/uvh64E6 , https://imgur.com/sCPSmFX
End Sub

If I say No on the Close, then I get only that warning: The file closes without the second warning. But the results are the same.

The resulting text file looks like this
cellA1;cellB1
callA2;

If I run the macro produced from the macro recording, then I only get the first warning on at the Close
MacroRunWarningOnCloseForSavingChangesDespiteAlrea dySavedCSVMSDOS.JPG : https://imgur.com/aCzwGqa
https://i.imgur.com/aCzwGqa.jpg

It makes no difference if I answer Yes or No
The results are that I get a file with comma , as the delimiter
cellA1,cellB1
callA2,

Final Conclusions on Save SaveAs Close for the 3 CSV file types
The following conclusions are in general identical for the three CSV types
In my Excel, if I try to save or close manually a file as CSV type, then the separator becomes a ;
Any attempt to do the same with a macro always results in a , as the separator, ( even if the macro had been derived from a macro recording when doing it manually which resulted in the ; as separator ).
It makes no difference to the results by selecting a YES or No on any of the two possible prompts on a Close.
( The single prompt on a Save or SaveAs gives me the chance to go back to the save dialogue to choose an extension other than .csv)

The output produced by the macro ( shown in worksheet “TextToTabular” ) of the uploaded file, “tt_ExtraminationsRock.xls” , is very similar to the “Sample.pdf” – I can see some discrepancies in the column for Followers This is because two numbers are completely missing from the text file ( 958 and 17145 ) –

If I make text file with nothing in it and then after look at the text file with the following macro ..._

' A virgin text file
Sub AVirginTextFile()
' 1 Make a virgin text file
Dim FileNum2 As Long: Let FileNum2 = FreeFile(0) ' https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vba/language-reference-vba/articles/freefile-function
Dim PathAndFileName2 As String
Let PathAndFileName2 = ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" & "NoText.txt" ' CHANGE path TO SUIT
Open PathAndFileName2 For Output As #FileNum2
Dim NoText As String
Print #FileNum2, NoText ' write out entire text file, the file is made if not there
Close #FileNum2
' 2a) Get the text file as a long single string
Dim FileNum As Long: Let FileNum = FreeFile(1) ' https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vba/language-reference-vba/articles/freefile-function
Dim PathAndFileName As String, TotalFile As String
Let PathAndFileName = ThisWorkbook.Path & Application.PathSeparator & "NoText.txt" ' CHANGE TO SUIT From vixer zyxw1234 : http://www.eileenslounge.com/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=34629 DF.txt https://app.box.com/s/gw941dh9v8sqhvzin3lo9rfc67fjsbic
Open PathAndFileName For Binary As #FileNum 'Open Route to data. Binary is a fundamental type data input...
Let TotalFile = Space(LOF(FileNum)) '....and wot receives it has to be a string of exactly the right length
Get #FileNum, , TotalFile 'Debug.Print TotalFile
Close #FileNum
Call WtchaGot_Unic_NotMuchIfYaChoppedItOff(TotalFile)
End Sub
_... then I will see nothing at all in Notepad, and from my WotchaGot function it will tell me that I have
vbCr & vbLf

If I Let NoText = "x" , and repeat the experiment, I see in notepad .._

x
_.. and my function tells me that I have
"x" & vbCr & vbLf

Here are some more experiments, and the results:
Let NoText = "x" & vbCr & "x"
"x" & vbCr & "x" & vbCr & vbLf

xx

Let NoText = "x" & vbLf & "x"
"x" & vbLf & "x" & vbCr & vbLf

xx

Let NoText = "x" & vbCr & vbLf & "x"
"x" & vbCr & vbLf & "x" & vbCr & vbLf

x
x

Let NoText = "x" & vbLf & vbCr & "x"
"x" & vbLf & vbCr & "x" & vbCr & vbLf

xx

If I repeat the experiment using extension .csv instead of .txt everywhere in my macro, then the results are identical.
So it appears that notepad only recognises the pair vbCr & vbLf as a new line

( Note: if I open any of the files ( .txt or .csv ) in Excel , using any default settings, then for the case of the vbLf or the vbCr or the pair vbCr & vbLf then Excel always seems to add a line and I see

2x

_____ Workbook: NoText.csv ( Using Excel 2007 32 bit )

For the case of using vbLf & vbCr, using the default settings opening in Excel the .txt file also gives the same result, but strangely for the .csv file we see an extra line

Following on, and in support of, these Forum Posts:
http://www.eileenslounge.com/viewtopic.php?p=292266#p292266
https://excelfox.com/forum/showthread.php/2408-Windows-10-and-Office-Excel/page51#post12776

In one of those Posts we figured out how to get a text file 3 column list of the service´s Name , DisplayName and StartType, using a single PowerShell script commandlet.
Here I want to automate that a bit.
First I reduced the text file a bit to this

Name DisplayName StartType
---- ----------- ---------
AarSvc_72b48 Agent Activation Runtime_72b48 Manual
AJRouter AllJoyn-Routerdienst Manual
ALG Gatewaydienst auf Anwendungsebene Manual
ApHidMonitorService AlpsAlpine SMBus Monitor Service Automatic

The I took a look using this

Sub LookInFirstBitOfTextString() ' https://excelfox.com/forum/showthread.php/2408-Windows-10-and-Office-Excel/page51#post12776
' Get the text file as a long single string
Dim FileNum As Long: Let FileNum = FreeFile(1) ' https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vba/language-reference-vba/articles/freefile-function
Dim PathAndFileName As String, TotalFile As String
Let PathAndFileName = ThisWorkbook.Path & Application.PathSeparator & "test4lines.txt" ' CHANGE TO SUIT From vixer zyxw1234 : http://www.eileenslounge.com/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=34629 DF.txt https://app.box.com/s/gw941dh9v8sqhvzin3lo9rfc67fjsbic
Open PathAndFileName For Binary As #FileNum 'Open Route to data. Binary is a fundamental type data input...
Let TotalFile = Space(LOF(FileNum)) '....and wot receives it has to be a string of exactly the right length
Get #FileNum, , TotalFile 'Debug.Print TotalFile
Close #FileNum
Call WtchaGot_Unic_NotMuchIfYaChoppedItOff(TotalFile)
End Sub
That produced a total strong with rather a lot of CHR(0)s
https://i.postimg.cc/t43HCQr9/Rather-a-lot-of-Chr-0-s.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/LJ8WN7KW/Rather-a-lot-of-Chr-0-s.jpg (https://postimg.cc/LJ8WN7KW)
So I modified the code a bit to take them out, since I am not too interested in them, and I am not sure what they might do. This is a mod I would most likely want to do permanently, and initially now, I would like to do it as its obscuring the main stuff I want to see: That is easily done with TotalFile = Replace(TotalFile, Chr(0), "", 1, -1, vbBinaryCompare)
After that it looks a bit better.
I have 4 characters at the start, Chr(255) Chr(254) vbCr vbLf , which I can probably do away with as well, same again: TotalFile = Replace(TotalFile, Chr(255) & Chr(254) & vbCr & vbLf , "", 1, 1, vbBinaryCompare) ( Altertnativel we can just consider the Chr(255) & Chr(254) as the first line and disregard that later.)
The title line I could probably do away with as well, as I know what it is, or rather I know the 3 header words that I am interested in, as well as the order that they come in, "Name DisplayName StartType"
and
I can forget about the second line as well, as it seems to be just some dashes used to underline the headers.
So I will be disregarding the first 2 ( or 3 ) lines

The line separator is as expected, vbCr & vbLf . ( There are few extra trailing ones. I can leave those, as I don’t think they will confuse much of my further plans for manipulating the total string

My plan will be to split by the vbCr & vbLf to get 1 dimensional array or the rows.
The separator just seems to be a lot of spaces. As I have three text things that I want on each row, and they appear to have no spaces in them, I can do a simple bit of text manipulation to get at those three words at each row.
After that, putting each word in a “row” of a 2 D array of 3 “columns” will be convenient to then paste out in an Excel worksheet

This does all that

' make array for output
Dim arrOut() As String: ReDim arrOut(1 To UBound(arrRws()) - 2, 1 To 3) ' we are ignoring the first 3 lines. The UBound of the 1 dimensional array is already 1 less then the lines we need because a 1 dimensional array starts at 0
Dim Cnt As Long
For Cnt = 1 To UBound(arrRws()) - 2
If arrRws(Cnt + 2) = "" Then
' This should occur at the last empty rows, so we could consider jumping out of the loop here
Else
' time to split the line string
Dim Pos1 As Long: Let Pos1 = InStr(1, arrRws(Cnt + 2), " ", vbBinaryCompare)
Dim Nme As String: Let Nme = Left(arrRws(Cnt + 2), Pos1 - 1)
Dim Pos3 As Long: Let Pos3 = Len(arrRws(Cnt + 2)) - InStrRev(arrRws(Cnt + 2), " ", -1, vbBinaryCompare)
Dim StrtTyp As String: Let StrtTyp = Right(arrRws(Cnt + 2), Pos3)
Dim DispNme As String: Let DispNme = Replace(arrRws(Cnt + 2), Nme, "", 1, -1, vbBinaryCompare)
Let DispNme = Replace(DispNme, StrtTyp, "", 1, -1, vbBinaryCompare)
Let DispNme = Trim(DispNme)
' fill the array for output
Let arrOut(Cnt, 1) = Nme: arrOut(Cnt, 2) = DispNme: arrOut(Cnt, 3) = StrtTyp
End If

Next Cnt

The rest is just pasting that arrOut() directly in a spreadsheet

The OP appears unable to explain what he wants, and he probably doesn't know or can hardly speak a word of English.. never mind ... it isn't the fucking first time, and i doubt it will be the last, onward! based on seeing this a lot form the OP , Set rngDst = wkbDst.Worksheets("STATEMENT").Range("A17:C17, E17") , as well as a screenshots he gave,

I am taking a guess that somehow, some of the data above needs to find its way somewhere in the general area shown below

-.. and from seeing this... For Each Col In Array("DM", "DI", "DN", "DQ") , I will take a guess we can make these relations
DM – A ( date )
DI – B ( big number )
DN – C ( date )

DQ – E ( a number that might be something to do with money )

In Excel columns I have the URLs, and I copy them
Then I look at what is in the clipboard with the aim of adding enough BB Code URL tags

This is what two links look like

"https" & ":" & "/" & "/" & "www" & "." & "youtube" & "." & "com" & "/" & "watch" & "?" & "v" & "=" & "pGcerfVqYyU" & "&" & "lc" & "=" & "UgwYnetS3HRljX9vOLx4AaABAg" & "." & "94UVSldHOOy9VDJUb" & "_" & "mRBH" & vbCr & vbLf & "https" & ":" & "/" & "/" & "www" & "." & "youtube" & "." & "com" & "/" & "watch" & "?" & "v" & "=" & "pGcerfVqYyU" & "&" & "lc" & "=" & "UgzCtsi4abaxZnZJjZR4AaABAg" & vbCr & vbLf

Fortunately, no surprises, so we just need to add the BB Code URL tags in some convenient way. First thought is to replace the vbCr & vbLf with [/url] & vbCr & vbLf and replace the http with ][/B] & http
The we put the modified string back in the clipboard

Insert some lines without losing what’s there / Retain Comments / Shift what’s there to the right
A fairly simple problem
A common requirement for me is that I want to put some raw code lines into an existing script or VBA code, but I don’t want to change the line numbers referring to where they do in the existing code file.
This might occur if I want to replace some coding, but would like to keep the existing coding for future reference, possibly commented out to the right
What I might do typically for just a few lines is to manually put a comment at the start left of lines to be replaced, and then shift those now comments a few spaces to the right, then start typing the replacement lines from the left, which then pushed those comments to the left
Pictorially this is what I mean for the simple case of wanting to replace just one line

Sub Original()
Dim Msg As String
Let Msg = "Hello"
MsgBox Prompt:="Hello shit World"
End Sub
Sub ModifiedByInsertingNewCodeLine()
Dim Msg As String
Let Msg = "Hello"
Debug.Print "Hello shit World" ' MsgBox Prompt:="Hello shit World"
End Sub
That’s easy for a few lines, but for a lot of lines it’s a tedious pain in the arse

.ps1 PowerShell text like code lines
Currently have some large .ps1 PowerShell files that I am inserting a lot of lines in and want to do it in the way I am talking about
In this post I will check out the format of the files first, in case there are any unusual “invisible” characters in them, since I have seen that in some PowerShell related text files ( https://excelfox.com/forum/showthread.php/2559-Notes-tests-text-files-manipulation-of-text-files-in-Excel-and-with-Excel-VBA?p=15357&viewfull=1#post15357 https://excelfox.com/forum/showthread.php/2559-Notes-tests-text-files-manipulation-of-text-files-in-Excel-and-with-Excel-VBA/page3#post15357 )

So, no major problems or surprises, ( or so I thought – see next post )
It looks like a different line separator is used sometimes. But we have seen this before.
I have a slight personal tendency to prefer the two character line separator, vbCr & vbLf , and also the first file was the main one in which the other will be inserted, so I will do a simple conversion to the file to be inserted to replace all vbLf with vbCr & vbLf

One small interesting note. I don’t have a last trailing line feed character or characters. That is not so usual, at least I have not experienced it yet so far in playing around with .csv and other text files

I hit a problem later
I hit a problem later…. The full main file actually looked like this in a text editor:
https://i.postimg.cc/4mzznGXy/Actual-Main-File.jpg (https://postimg.cc/4mzznGXy)
and it got me an 9 line array, where I was expecting one of 2102
https://i.postimg.cc/hfFLSvWN/arr-Rws-M-Bollox.jpg (https://postimg.cc/hfFLSvWN)

I don’t know how that came about since the four lines file was made and saved in the same ISE environment in which the Main file was and was saved in. But it looks like unfortunately there may be a few, 9 , vbCr & vbLfs.
So, I took a look at a shortened vision of that file, as saved in a text editor, trying to capture some of the problem areas.
This is what I looked at
https://i.postimg.cc/G8VkThB8/Actual-Main-File-Problem-Areas.jpg (https://postimg.cc/G8VkThB8)

From that above output we can see 11, so that’s 10 lines rather than 9. This inconsistency by 1 is somewhat worrying.
I looked at the array produced from that shortened text file, and it is as before, 9
One possibility is that some length restriction is long some of the line feed pairs, or a line slipped in at my making of the shortened file

For the masochistic pleasure I tried the full main file in the first simple macro. To my surprise, it worked, after a few hours, the result came out.
Temp7BeforeIPhostsInsertFirst4Lines_ps1WtchaGot https://app.box.com/s/12zw9id42xrwc7qy70ul87bg0wfpb4uh
Temp7BeforeIPhostsInsertFirst4Lines_ps1WtchaGot https://app.box.com/s/771q1gzpycle7ccveu235j256n4l4xyb
It returned 8, making 9 lines.

So that discrepancy is perhaps sorted.
My initial conclusions may have based on slightly careless manipulations that brought some invisible characters in.

One possibility is that the original main coding came from GitHub: This for example talks about the line feed issue at GitHub

So I will make a function, just for convenience even though I am not so keen on those things
It will take in
_(i) The two file names , the main one, and then the one to be inserted,
_(ii) the line at which to insert, and optional the number of lines to insert, ( if no number is given, I assume all lines want to be inserted from the second file )
_ an optional name for the output file, ( if none is given I will add something like the date to the name of the original main file, and call it that)

_(iii) Based on the results from the last post, I probably will need to keep my eye on the line feed issue. For now the way to proceed could be to first replace all vbCr & vbLf with vbLf, to get them hopefully all to the same , and then after replace all vbLf with vbCr & vbLf
_ (iv) I assume all files are in the same folder

The techniques used to bring the files into 1 dimensional array of rows are tried and trusted, used many times before. I have the main file in a master array , arrRwsM() , and the file to be merged into it is in the array, arrRws()
At the point of the code development, where these arrays were made, I checked the contents, and there was perfect agreement between the rows in the ps1 files, and the elements of the arrays.

So what is new is to combine, merge, the files as required
A simple loop will do, that tacks on the extra coding from the left in the master code array.
We don’t need to add many spaces, since usually there is already many since the commented lines are over to the right. This is a simple coding bit to do that,
______ arrRwsM(LnNbr - 1) = arrRws(LnNbr - StRw) & arrRwsM(LnNbr - 1)
For LnNbr = StRw To Rws + StRw - 1 ' This - 1 is the usual “getting end row from start row and count of rows” issue - its always (the start row) + ( Rows count - 1 )
Let arrRwsM(LnNbr - 1) = arrRws(LnNbr - StRw) & arrRwsM(LnNbr - 1) ' The - 1 here is because the one dimensional arrays start at 0, so the lines we are intersted in are 1 element back from where we might have expected them
Next LnNbr

Its extremely easy now to remake the modified text file by joining the modified array elements by a line separator,
____ TotalFile = Join(arrRwsM(), vbCr & vbLf)
( For now I will stay with the vbCr & vbLf , as my personal preference )

In support of this post https://excelfox.com/forum/showthread.php/2408-Windows-10-and-Office-Excel/page53#post12804
A similar requirement to the last post, but for purposes of comparing a change in script by having the two versions side by side
I will do the whole thing again, just to see if I still experience similar effects on a different day.

I am interested in what seems to be a change by Chris Titus to his recent “WPF” windows utility
This change was somehow in between others, ( (ii) inbetween (i) and (iii) ), so may have slipped past most people.
I am taking my data from this red and green stuff , middle in Commit thing,
Mistery Red and Green stuff https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil/commit/a4019d74ec3fca44208eb3b621d6f8ac9bee5a64
or maybe not… This is what I have
The previous XML from god knows where and when, ( the red stuff from that last link )
Share ‘May10-17XML.txt’ https://app.box.com/s/ykynprd9a3ra4w7kcif4h5ziubwktw2t
The “new” green stuff from that last link
Share ‘May17XML.txt’ https://app.box.com/s/gsqjpfmmqwpadmu8wchjrlfrqxwrrg6e

_ (iii) This is now from the next change the next change called up XML thing

The big mystery seems to be for now where and what that red stuff comes from or is.
It seems that the full script from 10 May, the full script from just before the last change (ii) on 17May, and the stand alone XLM in change (iii) all have the same XML stuff

I think I will leave it for now… It’s all a total mess. It looks like he changed something he was never using to update it to what he was using.

….. later

white Snow stuff is a very special thing that comes down from the sky here and makes everything very Pretty. It also makes the ground nice and soft to go jogging on. I like it a lot.
For one year I did find a nice old disused railway line and in winter when it snows it is very Beautiful and I look forward every evening to my Jog. It is like my own private jogging train line.

Eine Sonntag arbenteuer

Also, wir laufen, und da wo ich sonnst im dunkel jog, kann man im Herbst tags grade noch was da drüben sehen … evtl. eine alte abstell gleise???

https://i.postimg.cc/fWBK2nYY/1-Was-Rechts-Evtl.jpg

Aber wir Lauf zu erste weiter..

Es ist ja interessant was man auf dem weg für abfall seiht-

https://i.postimg.cc/ncNWHj0H/2-Interesant-Abfall.jpg

Eine Voll milch , Bergator..

https://i.postimg.cc/J7DcRTgk/3-Ein-Berghator-Voll-Milch.jpg

Also was passiertet wenn der richtigen Weg geht rechts, und eine alte kleine weg geht links… Die meiste Leute Endscheidung die normaller weg

https://i.postimg.cc/KYpB2LDf/4-Weg-geht-rechts.jpg

Ich und Pooh , geh aber links entlang

https://i.postimg.cc/wMwdfqp1/5-wir-gehen-aber-links.jpg

Bald kommt das weg zu ende…

https://i.postimg.cc/wxfX55dV/6-Weg-endet.jpg

Aber da drüben ist was – eine Groß Kompost berg… ( in der Feld hinter war jemand für eine paar tagen gejagt bei eine Wolf in dunkel )

https://i.postimg.cc/kg8WdkR1/7-eiune-gross-posty-berg-da-druben.jpg

Links unter im Bild seiht man aber was…

https://i.postimg.cc/vHxVWphY/8-da-links-ist-was.jpg

Ein Loch - Da hat jemand im Dunkel auch hingefallen als er weg ran von die Wolf

https://i.postimg.cc/W4NzfKGJ/9-eine-gross-loch-aber-was-ist-da-links-unter.jpg

Beim aufstehen damals habe ich eine gleise end entdeckt. ( das sieht man gerade noch in das letzte Bild, links unten )

Ws ist die Ende eine alte gleise, und jemand sitz da…

https://i.postimg.cc/7Zmm55NG/11-ein-gleise-end.jpg

Ach so, Tigger passt auf das keine Zug zu weit fahrt, Die arme sitz da in seiner orange regen Jacke , Geschütz von wetter

https://i.postimg.cc/cJLkhRJB/12-da-wacht-jemand-auf.jpg

In die andere Richtung ist interessant

https://i.postimg.cc/cHK9ydwK/13-inder-ander-richtung.jpg

Sieht wie eine alte Bahnhof

https://i.postimg.cc/g2kKbYPY/14-eine-klein-alte-bahnhof.jpg

Aber da ist was auf dem gleise

https://i.postimg.cc/j5VN2TBn/19-was-ist-das.jpg

Eine naughty Pumkin sitz auf dem Gleise – wahrscheinlich weil er war langweiliges so lange auf eine Zug zu warten.

https://i.postimg.cc/pTDjn7tG/21-Ein-naught-pumpkin.jpg

Aber , Bahnhof Station meister sagt ihm er soll zurück auf Bahnsteig

Und beide warte auf Zug ordentlich

Mir ist aber aufgefallen das keine Zug kommt…

https://i.postimg.cc/VkdbF58b/23-kommt-aber-keine-Muss-schauern.jpg

Ich schau also weiter

Auch so …

https://i.postimg.cc/rwBzCJjv/24-Auch-so-alles-zug-nach-plauern-nur.jpg

alle Zug geht rechts nach Plauern, weil weicher geht rechts/ geraderaus. Also, ruf ich der Station Meister Pooh

Er macht sich auf die arbeite

https://i.postimg.cc/d3NV7mDN/25-Pooh-sets-weichern.jpg

Und jetzt wurde alle Zug umgeleitet zu unserer Bahnhof

https://i.postimg.cc/SxMxs94V/26-zug-geht-jetzt-zu-Pooh-bahnhof.jpg

( Aber echt – es ist Wahnsinn – das weicher ist voll ge- öled und gefettet – es funktioniert – da kann jede Kind oder verruchte die Zug um leiten – gibt’s keine schalte, Kamera, schloss, oder sonnst es zu verhindern.)

Ist aber echt dumm oder..

Keine Angst, Pooh hast wieder zurück

https://i.postimg.cc/MHHW8Mt7/27-Weicher-weider-zuruck.jpg

Ich schau weiter, da ist eine blick das mir von Hitchin erinnert wo ich bei eine Brücke unter gegangen war von meine Jogg weg

https://i.postimg.cc/jdzsYb4k/28-Hitchin-blick.jpg

Aber ich geh weiter

https://i.postimg.cc/Z5thwMkF/29-es-geht-weiter.jpg

Und weiter

https://i.postimg.cc/zDHzpWbN/31-Und-weiter.jpg

Wer arbeitet dort vorher..

https://i.postimg.cc/qBKr2TSM/32-wer-arbeitet-dort.jpg

Auch so, immer viele zu tun fürs Station meister Pooh, er muss Ester weg sägen von seine gleise

https://i.postimg.cc/tJQLBswR/33-ach-so-Pooh-s-ged-ester-weg-von-seine-gleise.jpg

Er hat ja, sehr viele zu tun, aber heute habe ihm viel Gehilfen und neben bei mehrere Brenn Holz lager platz gemacht

https://i.postimg.cc/MTRLfWTC/34-Pooh-hat-veil-zu-tun-Ich-schau-allein-weiter.jpg

Mann konnte denken die gleis hört auf

https://i.postimg.cc/Y00mySWV/35-End-Ich-denk-nicht.jpg

Aber es geht noch weiter,

https://i.postimg.cc/LsVY9Pkw/36-weiter.jpg

Dann geht rechts zu interessant schön Holz teile

https://i.postimg.cc/BnHPzkjq/37-rechts-zu-gross-Bau-Holz-lager-platz.jpg

Gerade und links, geht so wie eine blick zu Dachau….

https://i.postimg.cc/26wK70QG/38-links-und-gerade-aus-zu-Daschau.jpg

Aber bei Tages licht geh ich nicht weiter, ich gen links

https://i.postimg.cc/WbD5dNHX/39-bei-tagres-licjt-geh-ich-nicht-weiter.jpg

Ich mach eine letzter Bild von meine neue schön gefundener bretter und Balkon Holz Vorrat…

https://i.postimg.cc/MTPYGN0C/41-letzter-Photo-von-meine-neue-gelargeter-holz-bretter.jpg

Ich denk, da Links oben konnte was ….

https://i.postimg.cc/hhFTzBX5/42-links-uben-ist-was-denk-ich.jpg

Beispielsweise links eine Zug

https://i.postimg.cc/JzNcXGcc/43-beispiels-weise-links-zug.jpg

Mir ist aber rechts was mehr interessant, … konnte eine alte weg…

https://i.postimg.cc/qvsS7BNW/44-rects-konnte-eine-weg.jpg

Hatte recht, noch neben die Bahn strecke, eine alte weg

https://i.postimg.cc/fWd6Pvww/45-alte-gleise-weg-evt.jpg

Der Gleise ist weg, aber trotzdem eine schön Boingy Boingy jogg weg..

https://i.postimg.cc/MXk3WgqW/46-ja-gleise-weg-aber-schon-boingy-jog-weg.jpg

irgendwann ist aber die schnell wachsender weise Rind baumle zu dick gewachsen

https://i.postimg.cc/y8nqPY7c/47-die-schnell-w-chsender-weise-rind-baumla-speer-weg-weiter.jpg

Aber echts daneben ist eine schön weise

https://i.postimg.cc/0yKmGrYH/48-Aber-rechst-ist-schon-weise.jpg

Ich denke sogar ist es rasen gemährt

https://i.postimg.cc/NGRzDf4F/49-sogar-gem-ht-weise.jpg

Weise du wo ich jetzt da bin?

https://i.postimg.cc/6Q1Dkj2Q/51-weise-du-wo.jpg

Noch nicht weise? – jetzt aber

https://i.postimg.cc/8P9fCD2d/52-noch-nicht-kennt-sich.jpg

Jetzt sollst Du wissen. Die tour ist fast fertig. Rechts unter ist Vissmann.

https://i.postimg.cc/RFgNxz1H/53-jetzt-sollst-wissen.jpg

Links über der Bahn Übergang geht’s zu studentenberg – ich komm also raus von meine jogg weg an die andere seit von vor das normaller weg geht zu Feilitzch.

Das wars

Gesichte Ende…

Here is the results, for example from the immediate window :

Chr(239) & Chr(187) & Chr(191) & "1111" & "." & " Last year" & "," & " I put together this list of the most iconic poems " & vbCr & vbLf & "in the English language" & ";" & " it" & Chr(226) & ChrW(8364) & ChrW(8482) & "s high time to do the same for short " & vbCr & vbLf & "stories" & "." & " But before we go any further" & "," & " you may be asking" & ":" & " What does " & vbCr & vbLf & Chr(226) & ChrW(8364) & ChrW(339) & "iconic" & Chr(226) & ChrW(8364) & Chr(157) & " mean in this context" & "?" & " Can a short story " & vbCr & vbLf & "really be iconic in the way of a poem" & "," & " or a painting" & "," & " or Elvis" & "?" & vbCr & vbLf & vbCr & vbLf & vbCr & vbLf & "really be iconic in the way of a poem" & "," & " or a painting" & "," & " or Elvis" & "?" & vbCr & vbLf & vbCr & vbLf & vbCr & vbLf & "Well" & "," & " who knows" & "," & " but for our purposes" & "," & " " & Chr(226) & ChrW(8364) & ChrW(339) & "iconic" & Chr(226) & ChrW(8364) & Chr(157) & " means that " & vbCr & vbLf & "the story has somehow wormed"

Here are the corresponding results if I do the same to look at the after file ( content in one line output reduced sample.txt https://app.box.com/s/mpyvgf4kj9q04szjtj0255cns24lbxos )

Chr(239) & Chr(187) & Chr(191) & "1111" & "." & " Last year" & "," & " I put together this list of the most iconic poems in the English language" & ";" & " it" & Chr(226) & ChrW(8364) & ChrW(8482) & "s high time to do the same for short stories" & "." & " But before we go any further" & "," & " you may be asking" & ":" & " What does " & Chr(226) & ChrW(8364) & ChrW(339) & "iconic" & Chr(226) & ChrW(8364) & Chr(157) & " mean in this context" & "?" & " Can a short story really be iconic in the way of a poem" & "," & " or a painting" & "," & " or Elvis" & "?" & vbCr & vbLf & vbCr & vbLf & vbCr & vbLf & "really be iconic in the way of a poem" & "," & " or a painting" & "," & " or Elvis" & "?" & vbCr & vbLf & vbCr & vbLf & vbCr & vbLf & "Well" & "," & " who knows" & "," & " but for our purposes" & "," & " " & Chr(226) & ChrW(8364) & ChrW(339) & "iconic" & Chr(226) & ChrW(8364) & Chr(157) & " means that the story has somehow wormed"

So, what do we conclude?:
_ 1) there are no tab characters
_ 2) It seems that the line separator is the commonly used 2 character pair of a carriage return and a line feed, ( In VBA coding, vbCr & vbLf )
_ 3) It seems like the character string we wish to remove, ( the extra new line forming characters ) are three character:
A space and a carriage return and a line feed. ( In VBA coding _ " " & vbCr & vbLf _ )
( _ 4) I expect the OP, ( susan santa 12345 et al. ) , probably would not want to remove all that, but rather replace it with a single space , so I will do that!)

This initial macro seems to do the required:

Here is the results, for example from the immediate window :

Here are the corresponding results if I do the same to look at the after file ( content in one line output reduced sample.txt https://app.box.com/s/mpyvgf4kj9q04szjtj0255cns24lbxos )

Chr(239) & Chr(187) & Chr(191) & "1111" & "." & " Last year" & "," & " I put together this list of the most iconic poems in the English language" & ";" & " it" & Chr(226) & ChrW(8364) & ChrW(8482) & "s high time to do the same for short stories" & "." & " But before we go any further" & "," & " you may be asking" & ":" & " What does " & Chr(226) & ChrW(8364) & ChrW(339) & "iconic" & Chr(226) & ChrW(8364) & Chr(157) & " mean in this context" & "?" & " Can a short story really be iconic in the way of a poem" & "," & " or a painting" & "," & " or Elvis" & "?" & vbCr & vbLf & vbCr & vbLf & vbCr & vbLf & "really be iconic in the way of a poem" & "," & " or a painting" & "," & " or Elvis" & "?" & vbCr & vbLf & vbCr & vbLf & vbCr & vbLf & "Well" & "," & " who knows" & "," & " but for our purposes" & "," & " " & Chr(226) & ChrW(8364) & ChrW(339) & "iconic" & Chr(226) & ChrW(8364) & Chr(157) & " means that the story has somehow wormed"

So, what do we conclude?:
_ 1) there are no tab characters
_ 2) It seems that the line separator is the commonly used 2 character pair of a carriage return and a line feed, ( In VBA coding, vbCr & vbLf )
_ 3) It seems like the character string we wish to remove, ( the extra new line forming characters ) are three character:
A space and a carriage return and a line feed. ( In VBA coding _ " " & vbCr & vbLf _ )
( _ 4) I expect the OP, ( susan santa 12345 et al. ) , probably would not want to remove all that, but rather replace it with a single space , so I will do that!)

This initial macro seems to do the required:

End Sub

Here is the corresponding output from my function for the new text file made

Chr(239) & Chr(187) & Chr(191) & "1111" & "." & " Last year" & "," & " I put together this list of the most iconic poems in the English language" & ";" & " it" & Chr(226) & ChrW(8364) & ChrW(8482) & "s high time to do the same for short stories" & "." & " But before we go any further" & "," & " you may be asking" & ":" & " What does " & Chr(226) & ChrW(8364) & ChrW(339) & "iconic" & Chr(226) & ChrW(8364) & Chr(157) & " mean in this context" & "?" & " Can a short story really be iconic in the way of a poem" & "," & " or a painting" & "," & " or Elvis" & "?" & vbCr & vbLf & vbCr & vbLf & vbCr & vbLf & "really be iconic in the way of a poem" & "," & " or a painting" & "," & " or Elvis" & "?" & vbCr & vbLf & vbCr & vbLf & vbCr & vbLf & "Well" & "," & " who knows" & "," & " but for our purposes" & "," & " " & Chr(226) & ChrW(8364) & ChrW(339) & "iconic" & Chr(226) & ChrW(8364) & Chr(157) & " means that the story has somehow wormed" & vbCr & vbLf
That looks very similar to the output requested. Here is the new text file made:

First quick working attempt
Some brief notes of what I did, problems etc.
_ In the long play list I looked at it seems you only get a text file of all the stuff I want for a bit more than 75 videos at a time. This makes sense and ties up with the experience when you view manually in real time: The scroll box only goes up to on average a bit over the first 75.
https://i.postimg.cc/phX1XqkM/Only-get-79-vids-in-one-go.jpg (https://postimg.cc/phX1XqkM)

Scrapping that, or rather to say, playing around with the text file from the page source text from this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIx_8comGEc&list=UULFwInqvNXb-GN0JHdtoul_9A&index=3
…….. up to about &index=79
If you want the next chunk of videos, and a new text file of it all, you have to click on a video towards the bottom. ( https://i.postimg.cc/65L3ydNF/Click-towards-bottom-to-get-next-lot.jpg ) I thought I would keep stuff in some organised order, so tried getting all the text in a text file from these 9 links, the ones ending with &index=1, &index=76, &index=151, &index=226 …. 301, 376,451,526,601
That sort of worked…. Eventually…
_ I end up with 9 big text files to play with So that is sort of Part 1. I got now all the info I need, somewhere I expect, in those files… https://i.postimg.cc/R06JWCxf/9-Big-Server-Chrome-hybrid-text-files.jpg

_ a small snag: Previously using the main link, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rM-CtC6cklI&list=UULFwInqvNXb-GN0JHdtoul_9A , gets the first 79 links and with the index number, which is not essential but useful to have. But use a link with the extra &index=123 and I can’t find or get the index number from those 9 text files. Could be hidden there somewhere. I can’t see it initially. Maybe later.
No matter, not so important
_ ( I am actually using initially a hybrid Yasser/ SpeakEasy suggestion code to get those. So
Object "MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP"
and the
.setRequestHeader "User-Agent", "Chrome".
Maybe that’s a sort of “belt and braces” approach? I don’t know. I have not had the time to look in great detail at the differences yet in the three files. The hybrid comes out the smallest of the three.

Part 2
Get the 4vcAvCLMyUY type bit for use in like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vcAvCLMyUY
I decided to get out all 11 digit unique YouTube bits ( like WDCmlmylNm8 ) you have in a typical YouTube video link, like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDCmlmylNm8
I find by inspection that there seems to be all these 11 digit unique YouTube bits, (sometimes duplicated**) in some text ending with like hqdefault.jpg. So that is what is looked for, then a bit of text manipulation is done to pick out the 11 digit unique YouTube bit

I used a macro like this next one, to get all the 11 digit bits from the 9 files got in the last post.

Sub GetPlayListLinksFromTextFileUsinghqdefaultjpg() ' look fo this - hqdefault.jpg
Rem 0
Dim Ws1 As Worksheet: ' Set Ws1 = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets.Item(1)

Open PathAndFileName For Binary As #FileNum 'Open Route to data. Binary is a fundamental type data input...

Let TotalFile = Input(LOF(FileNum), FileNum)
Close #FileNum
' Rem 2 Get all links based on the unique bit of index=x, where x is 1 2 3 4 ...... etc
Dim Cnt As Long: Let Cnt = 1
Dim TextBit As String: Let TextBit = TotalFile
Dim posJpg As Long: Let posJpg = InStr(1, TextBit, "hqdefault.jpg", vbBinaryCompare)
Do While posJpg <> 0
Dim strURL As String: Let strURL = Mid(TextBit, posJpg - 12, 11)
Dim Unics As String
If InStr(1, Unics, strURL, vbBinaryCompare) = 0 Then
Let Unics = Unics & " " & strURL
Dim Lr1 As Long: Let Lr1 = Ws1.Range("B" & Ws1.Rows.Count & "").End(xlUp).Row
Dim Nr As Long
If Ws1.Range("B1").Value = "" Then
Let Nr = 1
Else
Let Nr = Lr1 + 1
End If
Let Ws1.Range("B" & Nr & "").Value = strURL

Else ' Got a dup
Let Ws1.Range("C" & Nr & "").Value = Ws1.Range("C" & Nr & "").Value + 1 ' for count of dups
End If
Let TextBit = Mid(TextBit, posJpg + 1)
Let posJpg = InStr(1, TextBit, "hqdefault.jpg", vbBinaryCompare)
Loop
End Sub

That code above checks for duplicates of that 11 digit bit in each text file**, but there may be duplicates for the list from each text file as I click a bit above the last link, say on 76th link ,rather than the typical last 79th link, ( if I clicked on the 79th link I would get the unique 11 digit bit for the 79th video twice from the first two text files, by clicking on the 76th link I will get in both the first two text files the 11 digit bit for the 76th 77th 78th and 79th )

That outputs to a spare sheet.
For now I manually copy that output 9 times and stick it all in column A of my main file, WieGehtsYouTube.xls ( https://app.box.com/s/97fnm2hhhbiwcnz4nte700pp9sqy79uy ).
https://i.postimg.cc/t47V7Gw8/Wie-Gehts-You-Tube-xls.jpg (https://postimages.org/)
(There are a few extra videos that seems to be advertisements or some video he recommends from someone else. Doesn’t matter – its obvious usually from the title wots wot. I also have the duplicates mentioned, but I take them out at the start of the next macro
I do it all like this for no special reason – its just the way it came out the first time as I went along. )

Part 3 How I got all the info I wanted
Main final macro
This went easier and smother than I thought it would.
And The final spreadsheet interaction coding isn’t that slow, - it’s still speed of light compared with doing it all manually, as I was. It’s actually nice to watch the spreadsheet filling up. Its fun when you think of the days of boring manual copying and pasting its saving and you get an initial check that the data looks sensible.
I don’t want to do this a thousand times a day for a year, - more like a few times a day for a couple of weeks. So I might stay with the slower novice code, - it’s easier to check and change. (It’s a bit cold though. I might put some clothes on. I don’t need to view this in my default skin).
There is not much point in explaining in detail how I manipulated the text file to get all the information I wanted. I expect if I did it a dozen times , forgetting every time how I did it the last time, then I would end up with as many different solutions. Just a matter of messing with string manipulation.

Code in the next post

One thing I did find nice is that Split Split stuff from Yasser. Maybe lots of people know about and use that. I saw it for the first time and it’s a very nice way to get a working coding to get stuff out of a big text file. Like…

jdhAJ Ex I want this Zed llmbldsm
So split by Ex , take second array element (1) from that
, then split the result by Zed and take the first element (0) of that
Simple but nice- I had always previously done some Instr Left Right Mid stuff before
So you can have a nice Pretty one line to start with,
Split(Split(PageSource, " ")(1), " ")(0)
Find what you are looking for, then drop in a bit of the stuff either side
= Split(Split(PageSource, " Ex ")(1), " Zed ")(0)

Sounds like a good one for a “YouTube short”

Final video Folder Video order
I need to do some sorting. Order sorting, for example based on date, and / or add a date “stamp” …

The problem is that my final modified titles on the actual videos will not tie up perfectly with those got from the scrapping coding. (But I note here that as time goes on the two will get closer, as I tend to apply more and more adjusting at the initial scrapping level , based on the modifications later that I find I need to do )

I spent a few frustrating days trying to modify an efficient range.Find to do this, but it did not really do it without being very complicated so wasting the otherwise efficient way the range.Find seems to work.

Finally a simpler VBA array coding seems OK for now, so I need a Simple VBA arrays coding to match up two Title list where the Titles for a particular video may be slightly different in the two lists

VBA arrays coding to match up 2 slightly different Titles of same Video in 2 lists
The function takes in …
__ ( The value ( Title text ) to be looked for , the range (as range object) to be looked in ) returning the found cell as range object

The basic idea is to split the Title to be looked for by a space so we have a one dimensional array of all the words in that title, and then we try to find a title in the list to be searched that has at least a certain number , HitsWish , of those words. That number is determined empirically , and if that amount of number is not found we keep reducing the HitsWish. So we do our best to match as many words as possible. That way we improve the chances of matching the right one

Rem 1 This does some tidying of given Title text value to be looked for. This follows along the usual typical tidying up that I do of Titles, but as noted, as time goes on the two titles for the same video will get closer, as I tend to apply more and more adjusting at the initial scrapping level , based on the modifications later that I find I need to do

Rem 2 is a bit of a customized fiddle thing. This is because there is a chance the first few words would never be found, even later, as I might have had some number or other ordering text added at the start. So I make an adjustment fiddle thing and variable that means I don’t include those words. Its basically based on a quick more conventional Range.Find thing to see if the first word(s) are anywhere in the list. If not then from then on we never try those.

Rem 3 is the main searching Loop(s). Three of them, in a nested fashion.
_ The outer loop , loops backwards if necessary to reduce the number of words we try to find in a single title in the list to be searched for a match.
_ The next Loop inside is looping all the rows in the list of titles to be searched for a match
_ The inner most loop goes through all (or most depending on what happened in Rem 2 ) of the words from the title to be looked for, and if we reach the required number of hits, HitsWish , then we terminate after passing the found cell to the result of the function, This is the bit that does that…
Set TitlSrch = SrchClm.Item(Rw)
Here is the initial final macro, at this stage :

' This function is a VBA array looping thing. It tidies up a bit a string Title you give it in the typical way i might tidy up a title. Then it splits that by spaces, and tries to match a lot of words from that in a Title in the given range of Titles. It reduces the amount of words it tries to match until it finds a match or gives up and tells you it never managed it
Public Function TitlSrch(TrgtVal As String, SrchClm As Range) As Range 'TrgtVal is range selected value, SrchClm is LookUpTable The return is the found cell range
Let Application.EnableEvents = True
Rem 1 Some tidying of given string.
' 1a) This follows along the usual typical tyding up that I do of Titles
Dim SchTxt As String: Let SchTxt = Trim(TrgtVal) ' Trim(Trgt.Value)
' Initial check for if multi words if there are spaces
If InStr(1, SchTxt, " ", vbBinaryCompare) > 0 Then ' Check for more than 1 word to look for==============
' Remove all but single space in between words to allow split via a space
Let SchTxt = Evaluate("=TRIM(SUBSTITUTE(" & """" & SchTxt & """" & ",CHAR(160),CHAR(32)))") ' TRIM function trims the 7-bit ASCII space character (value 32). In the Unicode character set, there is an additional space character called the nonbreaking space character that has a decimal value of 160. This character is commonly used in Web pages as the HTML entity,  . By itself, the TRIM function does not remove this nonbreaking space character. https://www.excelforum.com/excel-formulas-and-functions/1217202-is-there-a-function-similar-to-trim-but-that-only-removes-trailing-spaces-2.html Note also that spaces more than 1 are removed from in between text

At the moment I have in a file , WieGehtsYouTube.xls , and the worksheet , "ElevenDigitYT(1)" , something close to all the videos from the Video Play list, and a few from the Popular Play list that did not appear in the Video PlayList.
https://i.postimg.cc/67ZhGRKV/Most-Videos-And-Some-Popular.jpg (https://postimg.cc/67ZhGRKV)
That should have close to all the actual videos in my main storage, which from a recent Dir thing gives me the Worksheet WMV

There were not many missing, and most were missed probably as they were recent ones done after I did the original codings.
So I just manually went and downloaded some of those to add to all my downloaded files

As I went along the last time I made some small modifications but it’s basically the same coding:

Second attempt

Previously, and in my first attempt ( https://eileenslounge.com/viewtopic.php?p=303644#p303644 https://excelfox.com/forum/showthread.php/2840-Notes-tests-Scrapping-YouTube/page10 ) I looked at all Videos from channel So geht YouTube ( https://www.youtube.com/@SogehtYouTube )
In thus second attempt I will look at another play list from the same channel, Popular videos
I do note the number of videos is exactly the same as in Videos, so they may be the same … we will see.
( Some of this will be repeated text from the first attempt, with bits added. All a bit mixed up, but it’s just my own rough notes for later reference )…….
The previous story… ……….( https://excelfox.com/forum/showthread.php/2840-Notes-tests-Scrapping-YouTube?p=19701&viewfull=1#post19701 ) ……………….
_ In the long play list I looked at it seems you only get a text file of all the stuff I want for a bit more than 75 videos at a time. This makes sense and ties up with the experience when you view manually in real time: The scroll box only goes up to on average a bit over the first 75.
https://i.postimg.cc/phX1XqkM/Only-get-79-vids-in-one-go.jpg (https://postimg.cc/phX1XqkM)

Scrapping that, or rather to say, playing around with the text file from the page source text from this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rM-CtC6cklI&list=UULFwInqvNXb-GN0JHdtoul_9A ' -- main play list link
,give links of this form

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIx_8comGEc&list=UULFwInqvNXb-GN0JHdtoul_9A&index=3
…….. up to about &index=79
If you want the next chunk of videos, and a new text file of it all, you have to click on a video towards the bottom. ( https://i.postimg.cc/65L3ydNF/Click-towards-bottom-to-get-next-lot.jpg ) I thought I would keep stuff in some organized order, so tried getting all the text in a text file from these 9 links, the ones ending with &index=1, &index=76, &index=151, &index=226 …. 301, 376,451,526,601
That sort of worked…. Eventually…
_ I end up with 9 big text files to play with So that is sort of Part 1. I got now all the info I need, somewhere I expect, in those files… https://i.postimg.cc/R06JWCxf/9-Big-Server-Chrome-hybrid-text-files.jpg
https://i.postimg.cc/R3mZ8BFV/9-Big-Server-Chrome-hybrid-text-files.jpg (https://postimg.cc/R3mZ8BFV)

_ a small snag: Previously using the main link, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rM-CtC6cklI&list=UULFwInqvNXb-GN0JHdtoul_9A , gets the first 79 links and with the index number, which is not essential but useful to have. But use a link with the extra &index=123 and I can’t find or get the index number from those 9 text files. Could be hidden there somewhere. I can’t see it initially. Maybe later.
No matter, not so important
_ ( I am actually using initially a hybrid Yasser/ SpeakEasy suggestion code to get those. So
Object "MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP"
and the
.setRequestHeader "User-Agent", "Chrome".
Maybe that’s a sort of “belt and braces” approach? I don’t know. I have not had the time to look in great detail at the differences yet in the three files. The hybrid comes out the smallest of the three.
( https://i.postimg.cc/MK5Q4rYc/Hybrid-scrapping-code-gives-smallest-text-file.jpg ) )
…………………………

The new second story:
I will loop this time all 9 links to get the text files, instead of re hard coding 9 times as I did the last time, ( but I will run the macro from the VB Editor in step F8 mode as usual initially. )

https://excelfox.com/forum/showthread.php/2840-Notes-tests-Scrapping-YouTube/page11#post19742

Part2
So I have the 9 text files, and similarly to the first attempt, ( https://excelfox.com/forum/showthread.php/2840-Notes-tests-Scrapping-YouTube?p=19711&viewfull=1#post19711 ) and I will advance the coding a bit to loop all the text files.

So, as before I decide to get out all 11 digit unique YouTube bits ( like WDCmlmylNm8 ) you have in a typical YouTube video link, like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDCmlmylNm8 .
I find by inspection that there seems to be all these 11 digit unique YouTube bits, (sometimes duplicated**) in some text ending with like hqdefault.jpg. So that is what is looked for, then a bit of text manipulation is done to pick out the 11 digit unique YouTube bit
The macro will, as before, check for duplicates of that 11 digit bit in each text file**, but there may be duplicates for the list from each text file as I click a bit above the last link, say on 76th link ,rather than the typical last 79th link, ( if I clicked on the 79th link I would get the unique 11 digit bit for the 79th video twice from the first two text files, by clicking on the 76th link I will get in both the first two text files the 11 digit bit for the 76th 77th 78th and 79th ) (Edit Note: I noticed later that because of the looping in Sub GetPlayListLinksFromTextFileUsinghqdefaultjpg_Popu larPlayList() results in the first few duplicates not being added. )
Here the macro:

As I am advancing the coding with looping, I will go straight into the final output worksheet, in this case worksheet ElevenDigitYT(2) , (and as Edit noted, all final duplicates are automatically removed)

Here the macro:

' https://excelfox.com/forum/showthread.php/2840-Notes-tests-Scrapping-YouTube/page11#post19742

Simple macro to remove the duplicates in column A Edit: NOT NEEDED !!!
Previously this was done at the start of the main macro to get all the details I want from every video. But it’s a bit more tidier perhaps to do that quickly now, and put the unique values in column B
So I used this macro

Sub GetUnique11DigitYouTubeFromAandputinB()
Rem 0 Worksheets info
Dim WsPop As Worksheet: Set WsPop = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets.Item("ElevenDigitYT(2)")
Dim RngWsYT11 As Range: Set RngWsYT11 = WsPop.Range("A1:A692") ' 1008")
Dim Unics As String
Dim Cnt As Long
For Cnt = 2 To 692 ' 1009
If InStr(1, Unics, RngWsYT11.Item(Cnt).Value2, vbBinaryCompare) = 0 Then ' Check to see if I not got this the 11 digit bit yet ..... but there may be duplicates for the list from each text file as I click a bit above the last link, say on 76th link ,rather than the typical last 79th link, ( if I clicked on the 79th link I would get the unique 11 digit bit for the 79th video twice from the first two text files, by clicking on the 76th link I will get in both the first two text files the 11 digit bit for the 76th 77th 78th and 79th )
Let RngWsYT11.Item(Cnt).Offset(0, 1).Value2 = RngWsYT11.Item(Cnt).Value2 ' Puts the 11 digit bit in column B if i have not had that 11 digit bit yet
Let Unics = Unics & RngWsYT11.Item(Cnt).Value2 & " " ' Put the 11 digit bit in a string which i check to see if i got this one already
Else
' already got this 11 digit bit, so leave the row in column B empty
End If
Next Cnt
End Sub
But it did nothing!! – because of course, the looping in Sub GetPlayListLinksFromTextFileUsinghqdefaultjpg_Popu larPlayList() results in the first few duplicates not being added. Example at the start of the second main outer loop, the 76th 77th 78th and 79th would not get added
So I can forget that and take column A original to be all unique

The Getting Started list
There are not many videos in this list, so I could try a scrap based on the Play all link, but first for consistency I will try the corresponding way I did before, but this time I will just have to get 1 text file from 1 link, ( The first one in the play list ), rather than the 9 necessary on the previous longer play list.

So this is the navigation to go through to get that link
_ First the YouTube channel, So geht YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@SogehtYouTube
_ Then at the play list, Die ersten Schritte auf YouTube , be careful, as you don’t want the link behind Die ersten Schritte auf YouTube , ( https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLipJz-fzcvQWvyJavhI12COqru03rchWt
), but rather the one to the right of that is which you should click, which is in behind Play all , This is the one -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlZdIkipTIY&list=PLipJz-fzcvQWvyJavhI12COqru03rchWt
_ Then get the final required link from the one behind the first video in the small vertically scrollable window on the right

Coding follows along from before, ( https://excelfox.com/forum/showthread.php/2840-Notes-tests-Scrapping-YouTube/page11#post19741 ) .
The only difference is that I can avoid looping the links as I only have one, and the folder for things in this attempt will be

To bring us to the level of the last few attempts, we have the main macro. This has had a few minor tweaks. Mostly these are involved with Title given out, which has always been a bit modified. I will take this a bit further for fun and give a version un modified in column J, and then perhaps do some other experimenting

' This function is a VBA array looping thing. It tidies up a bit a string Title you give it in the typical way i might tidy up a title. Then it splits that by spaces, and tries to match a lot of words from that in a Title in the given range of Titles. It reduces the amount of words it tries to match until it finds a match or gives up and tells you it never managed it
' The basic idea is to split the Title to be looked for by a space so we have a one dimensional array of all the words in that title, and then we try to find a title in the list to be searched that has at least a certain number , HitsWish , of those words. That number is determined empirically , and if that amount of number is not found we keep reducing the HitsWish. So we do our best to match as many words as possible. That way we improve the chances of matching the right one
