I worked on an app for a customer that required parsing a lot of
irregular text. Regular expressions handled it fine, but using the VB-based
control that comes with VFP was very slow. I wrote a routine to do what you
describe: write to a temp file, call a Python script that would do the
processing and write the output to a different file, then have VFP read in the
results and proceed from their. It was amazing how much faster that solution
was compared to the "built-in" VB control, even with all that extra shelling.
