Workaround for not working open/direct

Hi, in a mail some days ago i asked, how to manage large files an was informed by Gregg that open/direct should be capable to do this, but for some unknown reason not working in the latest releases.(There should be a Version where this has temporarily been fixed) Here my Questions now: 1. Is there a version of Rebol, where this is working properly, and if yes, which? 2. Does anybody knows if there is an entry in RAMBO and at which priority? 3. is there another way to handle .txt files of about 12 GB. I need to do some searching and extracting with these files. Other approaches i tried gave me "Not enough memory"-errors. Anybody?? Thorsten -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Access your email from home and the web

Hi Thorsten, On Friday, August 12, 2005, 10:47:44 AM, you wrote: TM> 3. is there another way to handle .txt files of about 12 GB. I think that REBOL can't handle files bigger than 4GB whatever method used. (Reading sequentially with /DIRECT may or may not work, depending on OS and so on, but it's likely to break anyway.) I don't think we can expect a 64 bit version of REBOL soon. You should try splitting the file in smaller chunks.

Thorsten, ich weiß ja nicht, was genau Du anstellst mit diesen Riesen-Dateien, aber vielleicht hilft Dir VEDIt PRO64? Kann Dateien bis +100GB bearbeiten und ist hochgradig automatisierbar. Ich benutze es seit einiger Zeit um komplette Telefonbücher in TXT Format zu bearbeiten (*nur* 300 - 800 MB). Gruß Kai

Ooops - that was meant to go to Thorsten private email address :( For those of you wondering what this German is all about: I am telling him about the VEDIT PRO64 editor which is capable of handling files up to 100 GB and ishighly automizable. BTW, it makes a fabulous REBOL editor, too, once you make yourself a syntax file for it.
