Hello all I have the following in a text file that is being read by vba and going line by line

I would like to split the strings for example
David Beamount08:0813:26
David Beamount14:0918:00
Josepg Camacho08:0411:10
Josepg Camacho11:4118:01

and So on for each employee. Sometime the row can have a bunch of different time clocks. Each two represent a clock in and clock out. How can I split it dynamically and enter it into a sheet? I have the following code below it works but only first the first clock and clock out. Thank you for your help

VBA Code:
  For i = 0 To UBound(arrTxt)
  
      If InStr(arrTxt(i), todaysdate2) > 0 Then
         Do While InStr(arrTxt(i + j), "END OF DAY") = 0
            
            j = j + 1
            
            For t = 2 To 17
                                   If InStr(arrTxt(i + j), "60" & ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Times").Range("K" & t) & " " & ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Times").Range("L" & t)) > 0 Then  'Safety Inspection
                                    'SI = InStr(arrTxt(i + j), "60ANDREW ")
                                    arrTime = Split(WorksheetFunction.Trim(arrTxt(i + j)), " ")

Sorry, I got side tracked with grandchild and dinner.

I haven't tested any of this code, just wrote it out in my head. Try it out and let me know how it goes. If it does not go well, perhaps you could include some more code that shows how exactly you arrive at the point of code that you did post.

Anyways, try replacing the code you posted in post #1 with:

VBA Code:
    Dim arrTimeSlot         As Long
    Dim ClockTimesProcessed As Long, TimeClocksFound    As Long
    Dim OutputArrayRow      As Long
    Dim OutputArray         As Variant
'
    ReDim OutputArray(1 To 4, 1 To 10000)
    arrTimeSlot = 0
    ClockTimesProcessed = 0                                                                                         ' Initiate ClockTimesProcessed
    OutputArrayRow = 0
'
    For i = 0 To UBound(arrTxt)
        If InStr(arrTxt(i), todaysdate2) > 0 Then
            Do While InStr(arrTxt(i + j), "END OF DAY") = 0
                j = j + 1

                For t = 2 To 17
                    If InStr(arrTxt(i + j), "60" & ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Times").Range("K" & t) & " " & _

Thank you for your code, I tried it however its still just putting the employees first clock in and out instead of each row

this was the result. I can do the changes after but I just need to sperate each two times with the employee name

This is my code at the moment and its only returning one employee

So i moved "NextLineOfData: to the higher Next it got all the employees but only one line per employee and one clock in and out

Well now that you have provided more of your code, I can look into it more and hopefully create a better solution for you.

Sorry about that I thought it would be simple to just incorporate it. But yea reading from a large text file

Does that data you posted recently pertain to the post #1 data? I am skeptical because it doesn't appear to be. Unless you are referring to the end of the data.

Perhaps you might want to include a data file that represents what you are dealing with, unless you are saying that represents a full text file.
