With Fgets/Ffread you do not have more flexibility, but with VFP alines() function you could get more, I believe.

>Is there a way to make FGETS go backwards? I created my own function call FBACKS which uses FREAD with a negitive 1 until I hit a chr(13) or chr(10) but wanted to know if there is a better way. I basicly want to read from the file bottom to top NOT top to bottom as most low level files assumes.
