Wow - that was a quick reply - you must live on this forum !!
What am I doing with each line?
I have a text file of several thousand lines, and I want to loop through until I reach a certain line, say, line 1400, and then add lines 1401 to 1430 to a string. So I guess the quickest way to get to line 1400 is to fileread 1400 times!?
