Ehrm... You are aware that using a variable to hold the contents of the file and then parsing it into an array will use two times the filesize?
IMHO LLF functions are a better option. You can even display some progress message then.

I wasn't paying attention to your statements. It has nothing to do with the array. Even though my original code used alines(aArray,filetostr(bigfile)), I broke it down to isolate the problem, so now I'm using cBuffer = filetostr(bigfile), then alines(aArray, cBuffer) ie 2 statements. It's the filetostr() that's failing as I originally stated. Nothing to do with the array. _______________________________________________ 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]@sw-software.nl ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
