Hi all, 1. How do I make Mathemtica wait from reading a file until the file reaches a certain size? 2. How do I make Mathematica just go in and read a file, look for an occurance of some text, then store that as my Mathematica variable, rather than having to store the file as a Mathematica list, look for a match then grab the value. W.R.T question 2, I guess I am a little confused about connections from Mathematica to text files in general and the proper use of InputStreams , ReadList, etc. Thanks Yas
