thank you both..... the offset is what i was looking for, this way I can read just a few lines at a time
I also must read them in sequence so I do have to use the line counter sequentially. There are probably many reasons why it hands the way i was doing it. Thankfully I only have to do this one time to parse out the single unicode character from each line. So 99% of the characters on each line are getting dropped.
