I need to read a comma seperated text file with quotes around strings.
Each record has 1500 fields. Since VFW tables can have only 255 fields I
need to read this file I quess byte by byte into an array, then assign to
different tables the data I need. Could someone explain to me the best way
to do this. I did it by useing FileToStr and then did a substr loop to read
each character and pharsed the filethat way. It took forever to complete the
process. The average file is about 500k. Thank you in advance for any help.
I am starting a very data intensive project that will proably take over a year
todo. I can do this easlie in VB. But don't know the best way in VFW.

Thanks
