I have two large files F1 (4.5 MB) and F2 (12 MB).
F1 is an index to F2. It contains a list of words and byte offsets
to instances of those words in F2.
They are used in this way: Look up word in F1 and use byte offsets
to SEEK directly to desired data in F2 (no problem).
What is the best (fastest) way to find a string in F1? Should it be
imported into a field first (MC seems to be crashing when I try this
and actually I have four indexes, so this is not desirable)? Or do
you have to read it in from a file, line by line, and check each line
as it comes in?
Seems like there should be a better way. Can matchtext be used on a file?
