I have a relatively large text file (3-4 GB) which VFP, when I display information about it with DIR, reports as being of negative 2 GB (yeah -2.3 GB). This wouldn't be in itself tragic but feof() and fseek confirm that the file is empty. fget() still works. I did a work around using
lcLine =fget(lnHandle)
do while !empty(lcLine)
...
etc but my workaround doesn't work - probably there is an empty line (just a carriage return) in the text file. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

To Workaround your Workaround... (Yeurggh) you could try getting a few lines at a time and test them all for empty.
lcLine1 = fGets(lnHandle)
lcLine2 = fGets(lnHandle)
lcLine3 = fGets(lnHandle)
do while Not Empty(lcLine1 + lcline2 + lcline3)

I haven't tested this so I don't know what the subsequent fGets will do when you really are at feof()
