With !Routines from www.7thsoftware.co.uk/software.htm

  LIBRARY "<Routines$Linker>"
  PROC`library("file.parse_file")

  PROC`parse_file_long(123, "#", file_name$)

  ...

  DEF PROCparsed_file_long(handle%, line%, hstr%, length%)
    REM handle% is the handle you passed into `parse_file_long() - e.g. 123
    REM line% is the line number
    REM hstr% is the long (heap) string - see string.long library for info
    REM length% is length of the string (bytes), excluding terminator   
  ENDPROC
