Hello Fellow Scripters:

My script runs slowly. A goodly part of the problem is that I am iterating through a flat text file a character at a time.

I am looking at ways to solve this problem and it has occurred to me that a first step to a solution might be to read the whole flat file into memory in one gulp.

The potential problem with this is that the average size of these files are between 15 and 20Kb, with some getting as fat as 126Kb.

I know that InDesign scripts (MAC 9.X) have a memory limit of 90Kb. Is data counted within that memory limit, or is this strictly code?

TIA.

John
