Being lazy, I'd bring it all in at once with something like this:
put URL "file:data.txt" into fileData

And then process fileData

If you don't like how Revolution handles your end-of-line, then try 
this:
put URL "binfile:data.txt" into fileData

...and take care of end-of-line yourself.

You can use lineOffset() and/or other related functions to split up 
the data.
