Is there a problem with each line being longer than 255 characters? I believe FGETS() will accept lines longer than this. Have you tried it?

>I have an app which needs to read several *.txt files. I open each of the files using fopen() and read what I need. Everything works great and quick except for 1 file. This is a very large file (4 MB) and each line is also longer than 255. What I did was create a table with a memo field, append the text field into the memo field then read the memo field line by line using mline(). This however takes a very long time to read. Short of creating a table with all the fields for the text file, is there a way I can open this file and read it much quicker.
