Hello VBWorld browsers,

I'm writing an application that use binary files as input. The files are quite big (>100MB) and the internal data types quite small (8 bytes each). This takes hours to browse through all the records due to the many "get" actions.
The solution would be to read the file in memory in big chunks first.
Before starting to write the code for that I wonder if anyone out there has done this already.
I heard that in C, there is a "memfile" function that aut. takes care of loading the file in memory. Does this (or something similar) exists in VB 6.x as well? that would be even easier and, probably, much faster as well.

hope to hear from anyone soon,

Regards,
