Subj : Re: long lines in a file To : Michael Preslar From : Sean Dennis Date : Fri Dec 16 2005 03:44 pm Michael, *** Quoting Michael Preslar from a message to All *** MP> What would you guys suggest as the best way to handle such MP> situations? blockread() then parse 255 characters at a time? ....or maybe you could write a procedure to parse the ANSI codes "on the fly" so that way you can just read everything in one character at a time, but parse the ANSI as it comes in. I don't know much about blockread, but hope this might help somehow.
