    hi..

    Thank you very much for your apply. But this data is different because the length of data record is flexible and the length of data record can be know on first 4 bytes for each record. That why i have to read first 4 bytes every record to know the length record for the data. The next record will be continue after that.

    Right now, i have not any ideas how to read first 4 bytes for every record to get the record length.

    This is an ASCII file format.

    Thank you,
