Is there a limit on the size of the file I can get into a char variable using function FileToStr()?

I just tried a fairly large file (almost 200K text file) and it worked. But I was wondering if I might run out of some "limitation" if file is much bigger.

Also, I have to parse the retrieved variable based on many different tokens in the text file. For example, the file may have tokens like $START TEXT$... some text.. $END TEXT$. $REQUESTOR.. Requestor name.. and so on.

I can only think of function AT() to parse the string. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

TIA
