[REBOL] Problems handling large txt files with open/direct/binary

From: jmalv::hotmail::com at: 6-Mar-2002 14:23

Hi all, I am processing a large text data file (over 100 MB) in a Linux RH 7.2 box with 256 MB memory. I tried to use open/direct/lines but I had problems with lines above 4096 chars so I use open/direct/binary and the following function to read lines: read-lines: func [ f [port!] /local line data ] [ line: copy "" while [ (data: copy/part f 1) <> #{0A} ] [ append line data if data == none [ break ] ] if data == none [ line: none ] line ] Do you have any suggestions for the following problems: 1. I can not get the loop to finish nicely at EOF The loop is ---> while [ not none? line ] [ ] 2. I get the following error but I have no info about it: Invalid datatype during recycle Ocasionally I also get a segmentation fault Any ideas are welcome.
