pre coffee code, occurs(lcSearch, lcSearched)... sorry

I don't know what platform he's using to import the file - however finding that ALL my lines end with the CRLF aka chr(13) chr(10) , and there is nothing anywhere else in the file where the ASCII value is less than 32, sorta tells me that he shouldn't be having an issue with just a few of the lines - at least not because of an embedded carriage return anyway.

give him 2 more files, one with only CR, one with only LF at line end. Chrtran to the rescue ;-)
