Never thought I'd run into this, but I've got a 2.9GB fixed-length text file that contains some data I want to load into MapInfo. Now, I know that's too big, so I thought I could simply write a little script in Visual Basic and read half the records into one file and the other half into a second file, making two files that are smaller than the limit.
However, MapBasic and Visual Basic can't address positions in a file beyond 2GB. The signed long integer (which is what these systems use to address locations in a file) just doesn't stretch that far. Anyone know what I can do to break this file up into smaller chunks? - Bill Thoen --------------------------------------------------------------------- List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message number: 18126
