Hi Pete,
My blacklist hit a size problem as it grew so I use BBEdit's "grep" feature to strip
out all comments. I perform a find/replace using the find string is ";.*$" (without
the quotes). This leaves some blank lines (that were all comments) which I remove by
replacing "\r\r+" with "\r". If your size is due to included comments, that should
help.
Is the text DB format in blackholes.us compatable with SIMS or do you massage it
somehow?
