If you find something with a whole .txt, please let me know. The best I could get AltaVista to give me was http://www.friends-partners.org/newfriends/culture/literature/war_and_peace/ and I don't think it's all there (I never read the book but what's at that URL doesn't look like 3.5mb).

Thanks!



>I don't remember the URL, but do a search on "War and Peace" and you'll find it. It actually comes on several different web pages, but you can save them to disk.

>>>Have them conduct a test. Take any large text file. For example, you can download the text of "War and Peace", which is roughly 3.5 Meg. Do the following in both VB and VFP:
>>>
>>>- Read the entire file into a variable. In VFP you would use FileToStr()
>>>- Count the number of times the word "Anna" is in the text. In VFP use OCCURS()
>>>- Replace "Anna" with another word. In VFP use STRTRAN().
>>>
>>>VFP will run rings around VB here. This shows that VFP is far superior to VB when it comes to text manipulation, which is all HTML is.
