I have that file saved on Remote Server where I don't have VFP Installed. Any other ideas of how to get to particular line in that huge file? I do have CSV Splitter, so I can split it if needed into pieces. Right now I'm trying the Powershell script, it's still running.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
