Just as a note: for large (text or binary) files, it's better to use a temporary file (see tmpfile()) and limit the in-memory buffer to smth like 1024. After finishing, do not close the tmpfile (this would automatically delete it), but lseek and copy back to the original. Anyone know any better ways to deal with large file contents? thx, georgeb
