I learn very useful things here! For me using Split() or ADO for such a simple task isn't a useful thing, in no way. Both methods are very memory and time consuming. A simple byte array and about 10-15 lines of code will do the same thing but will consume much less time and memory. -- Thorsten Albers albers (a) uni-freiburg.de

I haven't noticed anything of the sort. But then I don't use text files for storing large amounts of data as most clients who start out this way usually evolve to using a proper database as their needs (and data) grow! Where size of a recordset can be taxing on resources/speed, it's no problem to limit the number of records being worked on to something reasonable so that performance is within acceptable parameters. Of course, this also depends on what you're doing.<g> > A simple byte array and about 10-15 lines of code will do the same > thing but will consume much less time and memory. I agree. However, I suggested using ADO because eventually the OP may end up storing the data (if it's anywhere near the size being suggested) in a proper database. In this case there would be very little work to revise the code to use the database. This would be a different story using any kind of array.<g> -- Garry Free usenet access at http://www.eternal-september.org ClassicVB Users Regroup! comp.lang.basic.visual.misc |
