ファイルサイズの大きいテキストデータの読み込み方法について

[#1]

約120GBのテキストデータを読み込む場合、メモリが不足して読み込むことができません。
分割して読み込むなど、何か対処方法があれば、教えていただけないでしょうか。

LoadTextFile can do it. ( @Audrey_Shull there are two versions in the scripting index, one is more complete than the other.)

Untested code:

blob = loadtextfile("reallyBig.txt", blob( readLength( 1e9 ), readOffsetFromBegin( n * 1e9 ) ) );

It gives the data back as a BLOB, not as text. Blobs can be > 4GB, but JSL strings are limited to < 2GB. 1e9 is almost 1GB. "n" could be 0, 1, 2, ... to step through the file.

The reason it returns a BLOB: multi-byte characters may be split across the 1e9 boundary. If there are only single-byte characters, great! You can probably convert the blob to a string using (again, untested code)

jslString = blobToChar( blob, "utf-8" );

Let us know how this works for you, thanks!
