Hi Larry,
Ok Initially what I did was the following since I already knew that all
lines within the text file were of the same size.
Say for example I knew my lines of text within the file were all 410
characters in length.
I used the following:
numOf Lines = FILELEN("e:\chess\file") / 410
This was the code I had tried that didnt produce the exact number. Your
thought of taking into consideration the cr/lf could be the problem since I
did not take them into account. I will have to play with it a bit. I do
remeber a long time ago when I crossed this bridge isnt the filename itself
have something to do with the size??? Perhaps I could be mistaken but just
throwing it out.
Thanks Larry for your suggestions,
Les
