hi all,

wots the best way to handle a large text file within Vb??

file is 500Mb, I would like to read it in and make a minor adjustment to each line
then save it.

thanks

Hello Andy,

simple solution: a vertical scrollbar at the right of a Multiline TextBox
(with no scrollbars) and at the scroll event read how many lines in the file
that fit in the textbox, starting from the relative position of the scrollbar.
This implies that you have to know in advance how many lines there are in the file.
If you do not know (as I do not either) instead of the scrollbar I put two
buttons (previous page and next page) that I use to navigate in the file. You
cannot go to an exact position of the file but, it works (at least in my case)
