VBA Write dynamic query from an Excel workbook and .sql file
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
I have an XL file which has some data validation linked to a list of G/L accounts and Departments, as well as periods. The goal is for the user to select their choice, and for the .sql file to dynamically update the code and using ADO output the query to another workbook with the parameterized data. Unfortunately when I am doing the loop of the text stream, the .AtEndofText property is switching to true on blank lines of the .sql file and the loop dies there (line 9 , for example).
Is there an easier way to do this ? Ie. continue to loop through blank lines?
Or do I have to simply modify my .sql file to remove all blank lines?
Thank you

Not sure you need this loop -Do Until sFile.AtEndOfLine = True
That's what's giving you problems with empty lines.

Something more like this (following from my comments above)
Dim inLine
'...
'...
Do Until sFile.AtEndOfStream = True
inLine = sFile.ReadLine
If sFile.Line >= 8 And sFile.Line <= 14 Then
x = x + 1
nFile.WriteLine Arr(x, 2)
ElseIf sFile.Line = 65 Or sFile.Line = 66 Then
nFile.WriteLine "-- " & inLine 'comment out parameters not used
Else
nFile.WriteLine inLine
End If
Loop
This worked thanks. Now I understand why it was stopping. Still learning to navigate the FSO. It's pretty powerful. Thanks Tim.

Not sure you need this loop -
Do Until sFile.AtEndOfLine = True
That's what's giving you problems with empty lines.– Tim Williams

@TimWilliams the thing is I need to change the string to base it of user parameters, so I wouldn't know how to do it via .readall

You already have the outer
Do Until sFile.AtEndOfStream = True
loop - just remove the innerAtEndOfLine
