Hi,
I am importing a large hexadecimal text file with strings up to 600 characters long. The file was created by COBOL.
Will I have a problem with carriage returns or can I just read it in line by line and then apply a format?

Do you mean you want to convert between hexadecimal strings and numeric types?
