I have a test.txt which is 4 lines:
1
2
3
4
but when I use that example code it only reads the 3 lines.If I make it 5 lines it only reads 4.

known bug (a missing CRLF at the last line) , should been for the next version.

I'm getting a bug with 4.2 and dunno if it's already been found or if I'm doing something horribly wrong. Thought I'd mention it here. I've got a text file that is 3,560,918 bytes and it's filled with lines like (around 65537 lines):

69253293=57722345,12281923,41896350,85190632,78327595
8405792=74415561,56360749,40048898,41356995,88183293
74830558=32040838,94203399,92711169,37519720,2299895
73791813=30531672,72681100,22220704,50667884,30419886
83235894=80847585,25262185,21055261,4850284,55773614
56457653=91742162,20903141,10880654,80039553,89579687

... now whenever I cycle through it with FastOpenTextFile and try to read the last line, my program crashes. In fact, if I tell it to read past a certain point, it'll crash. Seems to happen just after 32767 or around there. Now take a look at the sample code I'm using to see if I'm making a really obvious mistake.

Code: Select all

Procedure.s TestRead(inFile.s)
      sLine.s
      iLoop.l
      countLines.l
      If FileSize(inFile) > -1
         countLines = FastOpenTextFile(inFile) 
         For iLoop = 1 To countLines+1
            sLine=FastReadLine(iLoop)
         Next
         FastCloseTextFile()
      EndIf
   ProcedureReturn sLine 
EndProcedure

If OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 150, 150,  #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_SizeGadget | #PB_Window_TitleBar , "Test") 
   ;
   If CreateGadgetList(WindowID()) 
      ButtonGadget(5, 70, 135, 80, 15, "Test") 
   EndIf
   ;
   Repeat 
      Event = WaitWindowEvent() 
      If Event = #PB_EventGadget 
         GadgetID = EventGadgetID() 
         Select GadgetID
            Case 5
               t1=GetTickCount_()
               sTest.s=configGetValueTest("c:\test.txt")
               t2=GetTickCount_()
               MessageRequester("Result: "+StrU(t2-t1,2),sTest)
         EndSelect
      EndIf 
   Until Event = #PB_EventCloseWindow 
EndIf 

End

So... any thoughts?

Hi Rings and everybody,
Is it expected for PB File library to reach same speed that this lib soon?
Anyone knows?

You must be having very good weather where you live

Anyways, this will not work with Strings in a binary file as it requires the length of the string, which you cannot get unless you read it first... lol. I just found that funny

Also it does not work on Pentium 4s. It locks up the program on "FastOpenFile"
