To accomplish this I want to read the last line in the appropriate file and populate the card with the data.

If the goal is simply to get the last line of a file, assuming you have the path to the file already in a variable, all you should need is

Code: Select all

     
      put the last line of url("File:" & myFilePath) into myVariable 
      # this assumes you already have a routine to place the variable items into their respective fields

The above code with a CSV file of 1GB in size completed in 746 milliseconds (including putting the information into fields).

Err, but 18 months later?

I wasn't here for a long LONG time (and really still am not), however, I did not resurrect this thread and bring it to my own attention, the post that did that was made by the OP, 1 day before my reply.

I just read through a thread brought to the surface again as is my habit.
