Depending on how broken it is, it might not be a good idea, yes. The thing is, the file might not have any new lines, and in that case he might end up reading the whole thing again. So, I guess the correct (though a bit general) advice would be 'find some delimiter to split the file and process in pieces'. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
