Reading data from multiple text files (EOF, Do-Until) - vba

Question

I want my macros to read certain lines from each text files (saved in a server folder) but so far, I can only get the macros to return the correct values for from the first text file...
I think it's because I don't really understand the 'Open xxx for input as #1' command... here is the macros:
Public CurrCell As Range
Public noLines As Integer
Sub NextCell()
Dim myFile As String
noLines = InputBox("Enter the number of TRs to add")
Range("A1").Activate
For Each CurrCell In Range(Cells(2, 1), Cells(noLines + 1, 1))
myFile = Application.GetOpenFilename()
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = myFile
Next CurrCell
End Sub
Sub GrabData()
Dim myFileName As String
Dim text As String
Dim textline As String
Dim Incidental As Integer
Dim TotalAccom As Integer
Dim Incidental_value As String
Dim TotalAccom_value As String
Dim i As Integer
For i = 1 To noLines
myFileName = Cells(i + 1, 1)
Open myFileName For Input As #1
Do Until EOF(1)
Line Input #1, textline
text = text & textline
Loop
Close #1
Incidental = InStr(text, "INCIDENTAL ALLOWANCE")
Cells(i + 1, 2).Value = Mid(text, Incidental + 22, 5)
Next i
End Sub
The first sub is to ask users to enter and select how many text files they want to read, and the second sub is suppose to bring back the correct values for each text file.
Thanks in advance!!!

You may want to try this:
Public noLines As Long ' Use Public if this is to be accessed by another Module
Sub NextCell()
Dim i As Long, oRng As Range
noLines = CLng(InputBox("Enter the number of TRs to add"))
' First store all the filenames, store them below A1
Set oRng = Range("A1")
For i = 1 To noLines
oRng.Offset(i, 0).Value = Application.GetOpenFilename()
Next
Set oRng = Nothing
' Then invoke the sub "GrabData"
GrabData
End Sub
Sub GrabData()
Const sMarker = "INCIDENTAL ALLOWANCE"
Dim i As Long, oRng As Range
'Dim myFileName As String
Dim text As String
Dim textline As String
Dim Incidental As Long
'Dim TotalAccom As Integer
'Dim Incidental_value As String
'Dim TotalAccom_value As String
Set oRng = Range("A1")
For i = 1 To noLines
text = "" ' Reset the text to blank!
' Now go through the list of filenames stored below A1
Open oRng.Offset(i, 0).Value For Input As #1
Do Until EOF(1)
Line Input #1, textline
text = text & textline
Loop
Close #1
' Get location of text after sMarker
Incidental = InStr(text, sMarker) + Len(sMarker) + 2
' Store 5 characters of text after sMarker to column C
oRng.Offset(i, 2).Value = Mid(text, Incidental, 5)
Next i
Set oRng = Nothing
End Sub
