Hi Burke,

you should try the TEXT_IO package. I works in a C-fashion:

handle := TEXT_IO.fopen("Your_File_Name", "r"); -- "r" for "read", "w" for write
loop
  begin

     TEXT_IO.get_line(handle, varchar2_local_variable);

...
-- work on the line you got
...

  exception
    when no_data_found then exit; -- EOF gives you a no_data_found   end;
end loop;
TEXT_IO.fclose(handle);

On-line Developer's Help gives you more...

Good luck,
Maurício
