What would make you assume this? Simplest demonstration: irb(main):004:0> s = "a"*70000;nil => nil irb(main):005:0> s.size => 70000 irb(main):006:0> Also, keep in mind Ruby has no separate representation for raw 8bit data. Only Strings. How would it be able to store a 65KB+ file in memory? The only limit to Ruby string is is available memory. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
