Extracting a subset of lines from a large file

[Gregory Lypny]

Hello everyone,

	I want to take a chunk of 1000 lines at a time out of a text file and 
display it in a field.  Some of the text files are big, 200 MB and up.

	Is one of the following approaches preferred?

[1]	put line 1 to 1000 of url ("file:" & filePath) into field "X"

[2]	read from file filePath from line 1 for 1000 lines
	put it into field "X"


	Regards,

		Gregory
