I should've mentioned that "#" is the character to look for when ignoring a
line that is a comment. Just use "" if the file you are parsing doesn't have
this sort of thing.

Also note (for reasons of laziness), this routine _does_ load the whole file
into RAM so won't be able to cope with arbitrarily-sized files, but should
be able to cope with arbitrarily-sized lines.

Final note, any of LF, CR or NULL are treated as a line terminator.

Thanks,

Steve
