Hi Greg,

Look at the ALINES() function. It takes either memo or character data and breaks it apart into one array element for each group of text between CHR(10)/CHR(13) combinations, ignoring the setting of MEMOWIDTH.

Be aware that ALINES() does not strip trailing blanks *by default* like the MLINE() function -- it will still do so if you pass the correct parameter.

HTH.
