I have written a program to work with a really large text files. It actually was started over a year ago. Some may remember a 9+ million line text file called Apt.Dat.
I only want to edit specific types of records (1302, 1300 and 1301 types); There were questions at the time about making a meaningful user display something that would make sense to the user. I think I have solved that problem.
The program is about 80% finished. I think it needs some graphics which I'm about to start working on.
The working of the program works with listboxes and dynamic arrays. However, I'm wondering if TstringList would work better than dynamic arrays in all of the instances or a few or none.
I have attached a screenshot, but I realize not much can be determined from the screenshot. So I have loaded the program code on my GDrive. Along with a small text data file which should allow you to run some of the features.
It does a recursive search for apt.dat files on a system which in a live environment there could be hundreds.
