Hi!
 
I have a group of files in a directory:
bb_1.txt
bb_2.txt
bb_3.txt
bb_4.txt
bb_5.txt
bb_6.txt
ss_1.txt

I want to extract from  files whose names start with  bb_   column number 5 to an excel file. I have 6  bb_  files, therefore I want to get 6 columns (5th column from each file)
This code is working,with the following errors:



I get the data in only one column, instead of six

Great! It sounds like you're almost there. Where's the code which works except that it puts the data all in one column?


Take care,
