I released finaly first version of FastFile on the Resourcesite

This new Library extends Purebasic' Commandsets for Files, especially for dealing with very Big binary files.
You can easily crypt or check very big files (tested here with more than 100MB-Files) very fast.

Following Commands are implemented:

FastOpenFile
FastCloseFile
FastReadData
FastReadLong
FastReadWord
FastReadbyte
FastWriteData
FastWriteLong
FastWriteWord
FastWritebyte
FastFileCRC32
FastFileMD5

Feel free to use it in your own Programms

Not for the regular PC user though

Nice lib

I want to use it to read Large preferences files into an array and process it internal.

If its possible do you have you an example

Now it takes about 5 sec (389KB) to read the following preference file into memory.

;Software Registrations
[SETTINGS]
number = 2140
;====================================
[reg0]
product = 0100000000
username = xxxxxx
refnummer = xxxxxx
orderdate = 01/22/1999
email = xxxxxx
comment =
;
;====================================
[reg1]
product = 0100000000
username = Cor de Visser
refnummer = xxxx
orderdate = 01/22/1999
email = [url]mailto:cdvisser@tref.nl">cdvisser@tref.nl
comment =
;

and so on till number 2140

Fred says that it was nice to process Strings(Line per line) with fastfile.
i will take a look now to to it (Only FastFileLineRead )

Yes, FastFileLileRead() would be very nice

Nice would also be to implent the Preference functions into FastFileLineRead()

e.g.

Result$ = FastReadPreferenceString(Keyword$, DefaultValue)
This will read the data from memory just loaded e.g. into an array.

This will make access to a large database very fast.

What do you think?

So you can build a very fast database

@Cor you inspired me to do a lot more.

I have done first Tests with new Commands
The Holybiblefile(~4 MB) has about 32kb lines
My Scanning took under 0.4 secs(nothing optimzed)

LineCount=FastFileReadTextfile(Filename.s)

Then you can get everyline you like with

Content.s=FastFileReadLine(Linenumber)

so you do not have to copy to an array

More suggestion is welcome
