Re: Delete lines in files (text files)
You should be able to read the file one chunk at a time. For example: on mouseUp answer file "the huge file" if it <> "" and the result = "" then put it into theFilePath end if open file theFilePath for read repeat until the result = "eof" read from file theFilePath until return put it into theCurrentLine --do stuff here with theCurrentLine --but don't keep the data completely in memory!!! end repeat close file theFilePath end mouseUp Adjust as needed Bjoernke On 19 Jan 2008, at 20:58, Till Bandi wrote: it is a csv file, that means it is a text file.

Re: Delete lines in files (text files)
On OS X (and Linux, I'd think), there's a cammand line utility which split big files up into files of whatever size/number of lines you like. It's called 'split' If you type "man split" into a terminal window, you'll see it's manual.

What if you broke up the file into manageable chunks before you did any processing? Something like (pseudocode): read in 100 lines from bigFile write out 100 lines to destFile1 read in next 100 lines from bigFile write out 100 lines to destFile2 etc. Then process each destFileN separately, and recombine them when you're finished?

Re: Delete lines in files (text files)
Randall- > But isnt 10 a bit draconian? Yep - it's draconian and it's arbitrary. And every time I get riled up about it I calm down and figure out a way to do what I want without having to break the limits. Sometimes by realizing that my app really can be better placed as a plugin stack, in which case the script limits don't apply; sometimes by coming up with an alternate plan that doesn't involve changing stack scripts after all - self-modifying code does get a bit gnarly to debug. ...and if you *really* need to modify more than ten lines of scripts you can state your case to the runrev team and apply for a waiver of the limits. In theory, anyway - I've never run into anyone who actually needed to do this. -- Mark Wieder [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: Delete lines in files (text files)
Well... All limits are arbitrary and this does not apply to Rev only :-) See scriptLimits function in the dictionary: * the number of statements permitted when changing a script (normally 10 in a standalone application) * the number of statements permitted in a do command (normally 10 in a standalone application) * the number of stacks permitted in the stacksInUse (normally 50 in a standalone application) * the number of objects permitted in the frontScripts and backScripts (normally 10 in a standalone application) But AFAIK a 'if then end if' (three lines) is counted as one line only for instance.

Till, You have to read it in then write it back out. You can do it in one line like this (assume you want to delete the first line): put line 2 to -1 of url "file:/path/to/file.txt" into url "file:/path/ to/file.txt" Just modify the range of lines you want to have in the final file.
