Reading two lines at a time

[cosfreelance]

Hi All,

I have a text file which has line item entries. Each line item has two lines per item. What i am trying to achieve is to put the two lines of text onto a single line. After which I plan to create a Csv file.

Whats the best way to read two lines at a time.

thanks in advance.

So we can suppose you know the _best_ way to read one line at a time. Suppose the second best method to read a line is:
[tt] s=f.readline[/tt]
where f is the textstream object. The second _best_ method to read two lines at a time is this.
[tt] s=f.readline
if not f.atendofstream then
s=s & "." & f.readline 'separator assume be a comma; it can be anything
end if[/tt]
