Re: Knowing size in bytes of an object / a variable ?

Yes, you are right. So you have two solutions: use a database or write your own. If you write your own, you probably need two files, one as an index and the other to hold the data (though it gets kind of ugly if you delete a lot). When writing to the file, first "serialize" the object, then record its starting location and length in your index.
