Cross posted there clearly!
If you do have to process this data for some reason then you will have to read the file as a binary / random file which you could do using VBA, VBScript etc.
You will notice just doing
more filename.txt
find /v "" filename.txt
etc. all show the extra line, though
type filename.txt doesn't show it, it does then pass it onto the find command still.
[Edit .... glad I didn't write out a VBScript, Bill got in first anyway]
