Wouldn't something with filetostr() be faster? In the premier issue of CoDE magazine there are all kinds of land speed records set with VFP arrays and filetostr().




>String concat. is painfully slow in Fox. I try to mimic C way (but not in memory) for such things. I cannot use memory as a stream but a file :

lcTempFile = "X"+sys(2015)+".tmp"
>lnHandle = fcreate(lcTempFile)
>lnElems = alen(myArray,1)
>for ix = 1 to lnElems
>   =fwrite(lnHandle,myArray[ix,1])
>endfor
>lnSize = fseek(lnHandle,0,2)
>= fseek(lnHandle,0,0)
>lcStr=fread(lnHandle,lnSize)
>=fclose(lnHandle)
>erase (lcTempFile)
