ElfDataFields solves this problem, btw. This is because ElfDataFields
has a special "separator" which is actually ANY line sperator. To
activate this special seperator, just don't pass a seperator to
ElfDataFields.
Also, ElfDataFields, if used properly, can run 3-5x faster than RB's
split :)
You'd do it like this:
dim fi as new ElfDataFields( data )
dim s as string
while fi.MoveNext
s = fi // away you go.
wend
Although this isn't the fastest way to use ElfDataFields, it will
solve your lines problem, by splitting CR, LF, or CRLF, even if the
lines are mixed in the same data!
