You should read one line at a time if possible. Otherwise, you are going to need enough ram/vram to hold the entire file plus all variable data. If you have to use virtual ram, it might be a good idea to use a dedicated hard drive and controller. - Chris _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
