Default Read Text File into Excel Using VBA

Hi All,

I'm a new VBA programmer. I know how to pull an entire text file
into an Excel Spreadsheet, but I only want specific information from
the text file not the entire text file.

What I have is about 25 text files stored in a folder, let's say
C:\test.

Each file is named by a property address as follows:
209 MAIN ST.txt
213 MAIN ST.txt
111 ELM ST.txt
2356 WOOD AVE.txt

On the 11th row of each file is as follows:
Property Address:209 MAIN ST
On the 31st row of each file is as follows:
Total Value:30500

What I would like to do is read each file located in the "C:\test
folder and write a record (row) into a single Excel Spreadsheet for
each property. I would like the Excel Spreadsheet to look as follows
once completed. Note the 1st row below is a header row that needs to
be generated by the code.

Property Address Total Value
209 MAIN ST 30500
213 MAIN ST 60700
111 ELM ST 20400
2356 WOOD AVE 20900

Can I read a header list (in a spreadsheet, text file, or hard coded in
the code) which I would prefer the spreadsheet or text file method,
write the header row in A1 then B1. Next read the 25 text files and
search based on the header info written above (Property Address & Total
Value) and write the appropriate to the single spreadsheet. The 11th
row of the First text file value written in cell A2, then read the 31st
row of the First text file write the value in cell B2, then loop to the
Second text file and values from The 11th row of the Second text file
value written in cell A3, then read the 31st row of the Second text
file write the value in cell B3, so on and so forth until the last text
file is read and the last record is written.
I know this is elementary to most, but I'm a beginner programmer and
sure could use the help...
Can any one help?

Thanks in advance.

Willie T
