.txt to memory

[Marty]

Hi,

I have a file that contain 100K lines. I want to charge all these lines
to my application memory. I've been using a StreamReader object to read
line by line and process to my app memory, but it is so slow, more than
1.5 min.

How can I speed it up? Does passing from .TXT to XML would make the
transfer faster?

Any idea would be appreciated.

Thanks

Marty

if you aren't worried about memory constraints then set you variable =
stream.readtoend() to get all the text at once. see if that speeds things up
a bit. and, no, xml markup will actually increase your file size...

I doubt that. Maybe it's your processing code that makes reading the file
slow...

Finally I used the ReadBlock and it was the best handling for my needs.
I realize that I was able to get greater speed of execution with less
access/refresh of the GUI, then it get pretty fast to process 100000s of
text lines.

Thanks for your help guys.
