We begin by creating an instance of the Word.Application object and setting the Visible property to True we then add a document and create an instance of the Selection object. Like we said, way easier than trying to combine multiple files in a single text file.
ObjSelection.InsertFile(“C:\Scripts\Software.txt”) ObjSelection.TypeText “Software Inventory” ObjSelection.InsertFile(“C:\Scripts\Hardware.txt”) ObjSelection.TypeText “Hardware Inventory” Let’s take a look at a script that imports a pair of text files (C:\Scripts\Hardware.txt and C:\Scripts\Software.txt): Set objWord = CreateObject(“Word.Application”) And InsertFile isn’t limited to opening just text files: if it’s a type of file that Word can handle, then InsertFile can open it and insert it in your document.
That’s because the Word Selection object has a method – InsertFile – that does one thing and one thing only: it opens up a specified file and inserts it into the current document. Believe it or not it’s actually easier to insert files into a Microsoft Word document than it is to insert a text file into another text file. How can I insert files into a Word document? Hey, Scripting Guy! Awhile back you showed people how they could combine several text files into a single file.
