If the file isn't too big read it all into a single string and use
Instr/Left$/Mid$/Right$ to search for vbLf and pull the string apart or use
the Split function to make it into an array. If the file is larger than
you'd like to work with in one piece then read chunks at a time and do the
same thing - just be careful to retain any partial lines in each chunk read
when reading the next piece.
