Hi Mr Svensson , I trust that I am not the only one to be curious to learn more concerning your remark.
I routinely parse files similar to those of Mr Pitcher, using PHP from the Windows command line. So far I have never had any problem generating CSV files containing about a million rows (Celeron 750, 256 MB). Would you care to explain in more details why PHP is a MUST DON'T to do this? Thanks Ignatius ____________________________________________ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Svensson, B.A.T.
