Parsing Long files

Files in excess of 5000 lines put into an array, cause the program to stop prematurely. I am assuming that data is overflowing into the code portion.

The files are simple text files created from DumpACL. The file I currently have a problem with is 18,549 lines.

I have a master file, and a target file. I am attempting to compare both line by line.

the program works below 5000 lines.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Is the program crashing after you use the Open command, or after you begin reading the 5001st line?

Usually one compares files by reading in one line at a time from each file, comparing the strings to one another, and then repeating the process for the next line, using the same variable as the previous line, thereby avoiding a need for a lot of memory.

Good Luck
