I have to extract fields from a huge text file stored in ifs.

The text file contains thousands of records and each record has 95 fields.

Each record is CR delimited and can be easily read with "fgets".

Each field is delimited with pipe (|).

I've tried with "strtok" but sometimes it fails because when some field is missing (and there are two pipes), the tokenizer skip to next field.

I've tried to write my own code with %scan but it is very slow.

Thank for suggestions.

Giuseppe.
