My first attempt would be to use a TStringList:
with TStringList.Create do
try
LoadFromFile(...);
{edit the lines, insert, delete and so on...}
SaveToFile(...);
finally
Free;
end;
I use this method for all sizes of files, and have never been bitten by a
size limit. Of course, you shouldn't try it on files bigger than available
RAM, as it will get quite slow (but still works up to the size of your
virtual memory). The 32k(64k) limit occurs only when reading directly to a
Windows control (ListBox, Memo, etc).
Next step would be TStream (TFileStream), but you can't insert into it, so
you'll have to do it with two streams, just like your two-file approach.
You can also read the whole file into *one* string! And then work like the
two-file case, but on two strings in memory.
OTOH, perhaps a string processing language like AWK would be better suited
for your purpose?
