Greg,
As per CC, here is my idea:
1) It'd fail if file has a single line with no CRLF in it (or last line has no CRLF and missed).
2) StrExtract() would be slow (needs to locate the occurence on each call).

PS: I don't understand why he needs an alternative to arrays (or fgets() - if max line length is not over 8192). Fgets() is the ultimate line reading IMHO.
