Actually, I am 'parsing' the data, but much later in the process. The immediate goal is to get the entire 1.3 g file into an array. alines(aArray,filetostr(bigfile)) is blazingly fast.

My work with a 20 MB XML showed the LLFF were 20ish seconds faster than StrToFile processing. And minutes faster than the XML DOM. Of course YMMV is evident. -----Original Message----- From: Lew Sent: Wednesday, October 01, 2008 5:47 PM What's wrong about it?

If you're loading a 1.3Gb file into memory you're probably doing something wrong... Can't you process the file in chunks with FRead() or FGets()? -- Paul [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
