Further, as I noted to Russell, this functionality will be in VFP 7.0 so, under the circumstances, there's no reason for me to change my recommendation. Thanks for the input, though.

273482Undoubtedly, when parsing
"large text files" there is a speed gain. However, this doesn't necessarily make this the same as parsing a
"string". In some cases, yes, in some cases no. In the example given, I would take my method each and every time. There's less code to maintain, and the performance issue, as far as I am concerned, is totally moot.
