Hi Bec, My only advice will be that not to deal directly with the text file or the memory mapped file. I would recommend having at least two layers:
1.To deal with the file at the low level directly as text-file/memory-mapped-file/etc. 2.A logical layer that uses the low level layer. In this layer you would be dealing with concepts that are abstraction the logic of what you are trying to do rather than handling low level string/stream/file/etc. manipulations.
