For anyone to be of any real help, you need to provide some details about how the file is structured and what you are doing to read it in with Mathematica. Mathematica is capable of reading large files in reasonable times. For example, using Mathematica 5.2 on a Mac with a 1.6 GHz processor, I am able to read a file of 1.3 million lines (80 MB) in ~20 seconds. -- To reply via email subtract one hundred and four
