Kevin,

In case of fixed len records

lcRecLen = nnn
iHand = FOPEN("c:\myfile.txt")
* Get File Size
lnFileSize = FSEEK(iHand, 0, 2)
* Get the # of recorda. 
*   Add 2 bytes to the record length 
*      for the end of the line (CHR(13) + CHR(10)) characters
lnRecCounr = lnFileSize / (lcRecLen + 2)
* Reset pointer back to the beginning of the file
= FSEEK(iHand, 0, 0)
* Continue processing
...
