-- Craig Eric replied: Craig, Couldn't you use a while loop saying while there is input, run a for loop that breaks whenever your counter > 10000 and resets all the variables?

Every time I try tackling them straight on I run out of virtual memory. The files are sequentially numbered somewhat like SS numbers -- they contain hyphens. The file numbers are unique as far as I can tell. Is there a loop I can use that will process the first 10,000 files, then exit; then the next 10,000 files, then exit; and so on until all files have been processed?
