Post Programming in Excel

Hello all,
I have a JCAMP file(basically like a text document). Somewhere down the file is a long list of numbers divided into four columns. I need to be able to organize all of those numbers into one column (left to right across the row, and then down to the next row, in that order) in an Excel worksheet. Can anyone help me out? Thanks.

I don't need anyone to take me step by step to do the program. I just need to know how to write from the file to the excel worksheet in a specific cell number. Also how to pick out where to start reading from (its after a certain word). Thanks.

Assuming you know how to open up your vba editor so I'll skip that part.
Create a subroutine and call it whatever you want, we'll call it test for a visual explanation.
Then create a variable to attach to the sheet that you want, lets say the first sheet.
Then you can access the cells of the worksheet through the Cells(row, column) attribute.

To open a file for reading use the open keyword.
Use line input to get read the file line by line and once you encounter the word that you are looking for start recording the contents of the file into the worksheet. The text that is in red is that which will depend on you. For the most part, this is the basic logic that you need for the code.
Code:
Private Sub test()
    Dim theSheet As Worksheet
    Dim iFile As Integer
    Dim sLine As String
    Dim bRecord As Boolean
    Dim lRowCntr As Long
    
    'set theSheet equal to the sheet
    Set theSheet = Application.ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(1)
    'get the next free file handle
    iFile = FreeFile
    lRowCntr = 1
    'open the file
    Open "yourfile.txt" For Input As #iFile
    While Not EOF(iFile)
        Line Input #iFile, sLine
        If Trim(sLine) = "your phrase" Then bRecord = True
        If bRecord Then
            theSheet.Cells(lRowCntr, 1) = Trim(sLine)
            lRowCntr = lRowCntr + 1
        End If
    Wend
    Close #iFile
End Sub
