RFE: Read and Analyze Giant Files

[Sannyasin Sivakatirswami]

Jeanne:

Slick solution! Think I'll try it. .....
(read and analyze data in 300 meg file with over 3 million lines)

Welp, it sounds good but it doesn't work., Here's my code

#!/usr/local/bin/mc
on startup
put 0 into the_counter
repeat
 read from stdin until "mystic_mouse"
 if the result is not empty then
 add 1 to the_counter
 else
 put the_counter
 exit repeat
 end if
end repeat
end startup

I got, counter is zero, program exits with "broken pipe". I am cat'ing 
the input into it with a pipe.
