You are using wrong way to process your data. You should use database. It will allows you to work without limits.
Example for simple database with 2 tables Table1 with structure FileName varchar(255) Table2 with structure ListItem varchar(255) import file with your filenames into Table1 and list of strings you want to search for into Table2 in both tables you can have (from your point of view) unlimited number of rows To get result for rows from Table1 containing strings from Table2 use query: cite: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- select Table1.* from Table1, Table2 where Table1.FileName like '%' + Table2.ListItem + '%'-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- <http://forum.pspad.com/read.php?2,63366,63424> PSPad freeware editor http://www.pspad.com
