Ok, I've just had a look now.

I see it uses the "ReadAll, Split and Ubound" technique described in this thread. Thanks, it could be a useful technique for getting the count more quickly (I currently read line by line and count them). But it doesn't help in my case, as I want to avoid having to read the file and get the line count.

I think I'll run with the idea that occurred to me while typing my earlier message. That is, get the file size up front by using the old-fashioned FileLen() function, then add up the length of each line as I process them (plus two for the delimiters) to track my position.

This Seek function will return, how many text a streame read currently So we cannot get the how many line.

We should use progress in timer control ( we can avoid to show each and every line status by changing the timer intervel).
