Well, then, see how fast it works, and compare it with the other methods.
The part above should work without problems; to read in the file, you can use FileToStr() and alines() (if you expect less than 65,000 files), or FileToStr() and a combination of _mline and mline() (if you expect more than 65,000 files).
