I'm glad to hear you got that working, but I'm concerned about how the CRLFs were introduced to begin with.
Internally, all of LC's text routines use the Unix line ending by default, and generally the only time you can get things like CRLFs is when reading text files made on Windows using binary mode - an unusual intersection of things that doesn't often happen.
Can you tell us more about how the list is created, maybe posting the script that obtains that list?
If you've encountered a bug it would be good for us to file a report on it, and if not I'll bet we can refine the code for greater simplicity and performance.
