We have 2 different readfiles here...

something is wrong with the readfile() that Christophe is using. His readfile it is not returning any information.

ok, i found the error in Chris's readfile() in line 6 in the UDF you need to change the line
Code:

Dim $ReadFile[$inc] 

to

reDim $ReadFile[$inc]


after doing that... i reran his code (i changed the location of dir.txt to c:\dir.txt, also changing the CI and VI stuff to better fit the screen).

Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.66GHz
Memory: 510MB RAM



Code:

getfilesize(c:\dir.txt)=7725170
Loadfile() = 2391       CI ReadFile(1) = 6890   VI ReadFile(1) = 2781
