I have an AIR app im currently developing. And often I am reading 150+MB CSV files. To load the entire file takes a long time, and is quite a memory hog. Im currently loading the entire thing, but the software often only needs part of it, but then will need other parts later.
The files are about 1.7Mill lines long, so what I am trying to do, is read the file, but just load every 1000th line. then load all the lines of just the part the person is looking at. But when the look at a different part, I need to load that part in full.
So how do I tell air what part of a file to read?
Any ideas how I would do this?
