<t>OK so it worked that time. I probably got rejected because I posted a negative comment on the new website, which I just discovered!<br/> <br/> Just to say I found the old site really nice, but the new one is mostly a lot of white space on my PC. I'm sure you worked hard on it Robert but I'm sorry ...

Well I just created a reply to this thread and when I submitted it I was asked to log in - but I was logged in!

<t>Thanks a lot for your reply Chris.<br/> <br/> Well I didn't want to read the file into memory as there is a hell of a lot of it!<br/> But I would like to know why, reading line by line, I was unable to get past 11m lines with VO. Is the blockage in the VO runtime or the underlying WIN32 API ...

Thanks for your reply Robert.

Line lengths variable (csv) but seem to be < 512, although dunno if there's a longy hidden somewhere . Difficult to look thru a file of 6gb ...

Thanks Joe.
This file has standard line terminators.
Problem only happens with VLF's, > 11m lines?
