I need to split large (1 Gig) log files for a client into more managable
chunks. The routine works fine, then (apparently) starts to slow down. I
suspect that I have not implemented 'seek' correctly, and that the file is
being read from zero each time, but would appreciate anyone's insights into
optimizing this utility...
Given tFilepath, write out 1Mb files sequentially numbered...
put the hilite of btn "Binary" into isBinary
if isBinary then open file tFilePath for binary read
else open file tFilePath for text read
set the numberFormat to "####"
seek to 0 in file tFilePath
repeat
set the cursor to busy
add 1 to n
seek relative 0 in file tFilePath
read from file tFilePath for 1000000
put the result="eof" into isEOF
if (it="") then exit repeat
if isBinary then put it into URL("binfile:"& tDir&"/" &n& ".txt")
else put it into URL("file:"& tDir&"/" &n& ".txt")
if (isEOF OR the result <>"") then exit repeat
end repeat
close file tFilePath
Many appreciations in advance.
