Whoa!  You could make a movie out of that line.  Out of curiosity - what's it 
for?

>>> "David McAllister" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 06/27/07 10:42 AM >>>
I am working with a .sdf file whose lines are each 22,686 characters
(bytes) long.  I need to parse out about 150 individual pieces of data
from each line but I am having trouble finding ANY program that can read
a line that long.  Ultimately I plan to script the extracted data into
meditech using BWS.  But first I have to parse these 100 mile long lines
of data.

Does anyone have experience parsing info out of a line this long?  If
so, how??!!   When I import a line into excel, it puts the whole 23K
line into cell A1, which of course does me no good.

Any ideas...?

TIA.
