Remove last empty row in a textfile

[karpe86]

I am using a macro to copy cells from an Excel worksheet to a new text file. The last row of the text file is empty and I can't remove this. The code looks like this:

Dim r As Long
Dim arr As Variant
Dim file As Variant
Set file = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").CreateTextFile("c:\temp\returförslag" + " test.exp", True, True)
With ActiveSheet
arr = .Range(.[A1], .UsedRange.Cells(.UsedRange.Cells.Count))
For r = 1 To UBound(arr)
strfile = Join(WorksheetFunction.Index(arr, r), vbTab)
strfile = Replace(strfile, Chr(13), "")
strfile = Replace(strfile, Chr(10), "")
strfile = Replace(strfile, vbcrlf"")
'file.WriteLine Join(WorksheetFunction.Index(arr, r), vbTab)
file.WriteLine strfile
Next

End With

I have tried to use the replace function to remove the carriage return but wunfortunately with no success. Can you please help me out with this annoying problem?

Welcome to the forum!

A blank line at the end is the usual feature of most csv and txt delimited files. I could show you how to remove it. First though, you might want to try Chip's routine and see how it works out for you. You will probably want to add .Select to the range set for arr and use Chip's option to use selected range.

Thanks for your assistance. I have looked into Chip's routine but I don't find the solution. If you can help me I would be more than happy!

Try: arr = .Range("A1").CurrentRegion.Value

I tried to replace arr = .Range(.[A1], .UsedRange.Cells(.UsedRange.Cells.Count)) with arr = .Range("A1").CurrentRegion.Value but the last carriage return in the text file remain.

I found the solution by using command "write" instead of "writeline" when creating the last row in the textfile.
