Thank you Larry.

Brain not working again. The answer was to breakapart on "\n" into an 
array - the new line markers are actually there but ignored by notepad. 
 From there I can scan the array, textstream it, deal with it on the 
spot into what I finally want out of it.

Some of the files are 15,000 runners long but paradox is really good at 
parsing that sort of thing quickly.
