have you tried the refinements for write? like: write/append/lines (to write one line at a time). -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, September 05, 2000 3:53 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [REBOL] Speed and Memory Management in REBOL I was glancing at one of the most popular scripts at the REBOL archive and developed some questions: 1- Is it possible to incrementally write to a file in REBOL? 2- Is it possible to append to a file in REBOL 3- This script seems in-efficient and memory wasteful: it reads and entire file into a temporary array and then converts the array. In Perl, I could do each conversion as I read in each line and write each line out after each conversion.
