Thanks Erel. I'll look into that.
Actually, I forgot to say that some of the time I'm checking each line for a certain chr, and if it exists (as it does about 1/3rd of the time), then I'm taking a substring of the line and adding it to a table. But I would expect that to be a lot slower than just Filereading a line. I thought the simple Filereads to loop to a certain line might be much faster when compiled.
Anyway, no worries!
