in thread Help to slurp records - $/ maybe?

JaWi,
Thanks - I already know that trick. The problem is it isn't scalable. The larger the file is that you are slurping the more memory you need to have. I am processing logs that are in the vincinity of a gigabyte and have millions of records.

Cheers - L~R

    In that case I would go for the "flag option" which isn't such memory consuming as slurping in the whole file.
    Interesting problem though...

    HTH,
