Getting the registry as a text file into a tmp cursor 1

[coldan]

I have been reading thread184-1476889 in respect to cleaning up files.

However I find the technique does not work for me on a reg file.

I need to read the reg file ( txt) into the tmp cursor, line by line, as it appears in all of my text editors, so I can search for certain strings.

I see many various hex codes between the end of one line and the start of the next using V editor but in text mode each line is seperate.

With my log file I can use APPEND (myfile) SDF but this does not work here.

Any clues anybody?

Thanks

Colin

Colin,

Use the ALINES() function.

Colin,

Just to elaborate my previous message:

lcStr = FILETOSTR("SomeFile.reg")
lnCount = ALINES(laLines, lcStr)
FOR lnI = 1 TO lnCount
  * do whatever you want with laLines(lnI)
ENDFOR

Hope this makes sense.

Mike
