I need to work with text variables larger than 254 characters in length (vfp
limit).    I am reading a text file that was converted from a landscape PDF
file, so you can imagine what the translation is like (horrible doesn't
being to describe it).   

 

I need to parse through it line by line and try to find the data I need,
remove extra spaces, etc.   To add to the fun, the PDF converter does not
pad records, so each line has its own length - meaning I can't just make 2
reads of 140 characters and use them together.

 

Any thoughts, besides the obvious one of using a different tool?   That's my
first thought, but I wanted to bounce it off the list before doing so.
