hi all!

i need to import files to a client-side forms application. the problem is that one file consists of one very large line.
the GET_LINE function is limited to max length of varchar2.

is there a possibility to read text files character by character?

how can i split this line in smaller parts?

thanx in advance

regards

peter

Yeah

It has a limit of 2000 chars.
Split the lines using substr into different variables, limited to 2000 chars in each var and
process the variables.

I did it
