maximum bytes that can be written into a text file?
Hi,
Can anyone tell me wht is the maximum number of bytes that a textfile can store? is there any limit to it? I need this information, because i have to log error messages into a text file. So want to know how many it can accomodate. If anyone can tell me, its behaviour after the file has reached its maximum limit and a write is called? thanks |

maximum bytes that can be written into a text file?
Hi Surindra,
I think it is a matter of the operating system, how big a file can get. Whether text-file or not doesn't matter. You may create text-files that are so big that you can't open them in any ordinary editor any more. Many many million bytes... The biggest so called text-file I've processed so far, had about 350,000 lines of about 50 characters each. Can anyone tell me wht is the maximum number of bytes that a textfile can store? is there any limit to it? I need this information, because i have to log error messages into a text file. So want to know how many it can accomodate. Create a log file for every day, hour, month, whatever. -- Greetings from Bavaria, Germany Helmut Weber, MVP WordVBA Win XP, Office 2003 "red.sys" & Chr$(64) & "t-online.de" |
