>I am parsing Medical HL7 format records. I'm using fgets() to read them as a flat file. Some of the record formats have interpretations of the data that exceeds the 8192 maximum length of the fgets. When I get the data if the length is less than 8192 then it is obvious the length is what it is. If the length of the data is 8192 how can I tell if the fgets completed because of a CR or there is more data for that record?

lcString = FGETS(lnHandle, 8192)
IF RIGHT(lcString, 1) == CHR(13)
   *** Ends with CR
ENDIF

BTW why not use FILETOSTR() and then ALINES()?
Of course if the file is relatively small.
