I need to read and process a tab-delimited text file that is in
UTF8 format containing unicode. The final goal is to get it into an

If I read the file as binfile, carriage returns are all lost.
Jacque,
Where are the files coming from? Maybe they're using ASCII 13 as a
line terminator, or ASCII 10 + 13. Can't you replace whatever the
native line delimiter is with numToChar(10)?
I forgot about that. They're ascii 13, and replacing them does keep the
line breaks. Thanks.
When I run uniEncode(tData,"UTF8") on it, the high-ascii characters are
in the variable watcher as "+" and an unprintable box. Can I assume the
real character is in there? Will it work for text chunking, etc? When I
split it into an array, will the keys be intact?
