Changing characters

[Lionstyle]

Hi

I have a file which contains Linefeeds(Lf) as end of line terminators. But I really want to use the vb function Line Input to read upto the end of each line, which I know only reads upto Cr or CrLf. Is there anyway to 'fool' the function into thinking that Lf is Cr?

I know there are other ways of dealing with these characters, but finding the solution for this would be really useful.

Thanks

I don't get the problem. Do this:

Dim a as string
Dim arr() as string
open "myfile" for input as #1
a=input(lof(1),1)
arr=Split(a,Chr(10) )  'oops edit : change 13 to 10
'  each element of arr now is one line of text.....
' just like you had read it it with line input

Thanks very much.
