I think that WDDX only increases the problem...
You read a 50 meg file
You create a 50 meg plus array
You serialize that into an even bigger WDDX packet
The major problem (IMO) with WDDX (XML) is that it is very verbose:
<string>a</string><string>b</string>.... where's the data?
It adds a lot (a whole lot) of overhead!
In your original post you had 4,000 lines long and 400 Kb = 100 char/lines.
Is there any simple processing you could do off-line to reduce this
significantly?
I have used my text editor which has grep (regular expressions) and a
batch facility to do similar things.
If you can work out a series of regexps, via the editor, it is pretty
easy to convert this into a Perl program.
Other than that, CFFILE read your big file once and put (only) what
you need into a db.
Or, as I recall ASP has a readln facility, where you can read a file
a line at a time...
