Text_TestLineA

This function tests the first character after any tabs or spaces to determine if the line has usable text or not. If the text has the first non-white space below ascii 32, which includes ascii zero (0), CR (13) and LF (10), it returns zero otherwise it returns the zero extended first character in EAX for testing by the caller. This can be used to test if the first character is a comment so that the caller can bypass the contents of the line. The return value can be tested either as a QWORD with a numeric value with RAX or directly as a BYTE in AL. This is the Ansi version of Text_TestLine, Text_TestLineW is the Unicode version.
