Oh yeah good idea, what I'd do is thew while loop into a variable.
If the variable is bigger than I like I stopt thew while loop and not write the file.
Otherwise write the variable to the file in 1K chunks if you want or all at once.
That way you don't end up with partial files.
Yeah good idea, check the file size yourself before writing and doing the while on a
humungousw file!
Thanks for the idea!
