Hi Geoff,

Me too :( and yes, 'split/combine' with 'for each' are useful!

Ony processing 10-20Mb here, but parsing into arrays I run out of memory. I
am maxed out for XP (4Gb). Will have to upgrade to Win7 to access more, I
fear, and/or re-write to chunk the data. I didn't realise they were going to
be processing that volume.

With multi-gigs of data, you will certainly have to chunk the data. And
access your progress bar judiciously!

rows of data. Speed optimization will be key...
