I am working for a large company that recently merged with another large company. They were both storing data in very large text files. In some ultimate wisdom due to the merger the result is that the data will be combined into an even larger text file with a record length of 78,000+. Considering tha the VFP maximum record length for text files is 65535, does anyone have any suggestions as to how I could read such a file and use it in VFP? The current recod length is approx. half that. All I do with this file is open it and remove certain pieces of it into a table for processing. Any ideas?

Thank You!
