Hi Dar, thanks for the tips. However I am loading the file locally. The file is 48mb, so it loads fine and fits fine.
I am attempting to parse just 1 line at a time, but it still doesn't work. This is my code and even this freezes it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- local number_of_lines local this_line global TempArray put the number of lines in unicode_file_to_parse into number_of_lines repeat with x = 1 to number_of_lines put line x of unicode_file_to_parse into this_line put this_line into TempArray[x] end repeat On Sat, Aug 10, 2019 at 1:16 PM Dar Scott Consulting via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > Remember to unload after load and parsing (if you use load). > > Also, look for variables you are leaving full of big things. > > If that doesn't help enough, look at the httpHeaders property.
