The last time I wrote any LLFF code, it was in BASIC and/or PASCAL over
15 years ago! lol
Looks like I'll use FOPEN to get the handle and FREAD to read each line.
How do I determine the number of lines (without using ALINES)...would
be it the number of bytes returned from FREAD divided by the record
length? Also, would I use FSEEK to increment along the file inside a
loop like so?
liRecLength = 550
liHandle = fopen("myfile.txt")
do while not feof(liHandle)
lcLine = fread(liHandle,liRecLength)
* now do whatever processing on the lcLine variable
enddo
Does that look about right? tia!
