I'm with Duane. Just from what you've stated, it seems your implementation
is most likely the problem. Unless you tell us exactly what you're doing
and how you're doing it (preferably by posting relevant code and a *small*
portion of the text file to give us an idea of its structure), we can't help
you much.

It sounds like your text file contains records (essentially, a database).
In that case, you should consider that a text file is hardly the most
efficient means of data storage, particularly for file I/O. It's entirely
possible (in fact, probable) that even a simple random-access file would
greatly increase performance and eliminate whatever problem you're having in
not being able to read the entire "line".
