and you will be back in business.

There is a whole group of functions for reading and writing text files
where each line is considered to be a record. Things like FT_Fuse(),
FT_Frecno(), FT_Fgoto(), FT_Freadln(), FT_Fskip() etc but no
FT_Fseek(). You would have to do something like this (adapted from the
NG) and inspect what FT_Freadln() returns:
FT_FUSE( "text.c" )
DO WHILE ! FT_FEOF()
cRecord := FT_FREADLN()
// Check cRecord for the string you are looking for
FT_FSKIP()
ENDDO

Klas
