Text file to listview, with premature EOF...

[THCfog]

I have a decent sized list of lines which i load to a listview using a traditional list opening code (below). All works well, but encountering certian strings which are apparently EOF markers cut things off early leaving my list half empty.

Open "C:\FileCodeList.txt" For Input As #1
    Do While Not EOF(1)
    Line Input #1, str1
    If Left(str1,7)="KeepC:\" Then ListView1.ListItems.Add , , str1
    Loop
    Close #1

Ive read many articles on open as binary, but i cannot get any sort of list population going with that. Plus, i cannot store the entire file as a array due to its large size. From 1 to 150 MB.

Im not sure if i should somehow process the file before loading, removing or replacing all Null characters or EOF marking characters ( im not sure what they are) , or if there is a binary loop i can use to load this list successfully.

Amy help would be much appreciated. Thanks ahead of time.
