I need to analise data files with dimension greater than 2 GB. Is there any solution allowing MathCAD to operate with such a big files?

Thanks!

In what format the data are written? Have you tried to use the built function READ (READEXCEL, READCSV, READFILE)? And what version of Mathcad are you using?

The data are in the ASCII format - this is just a set of numbers and letters. What I need to do is to reformat this file to allow it to be read by another program. I use very simple input - right click by mouse/Insert/File Input - the version is MathCAD 15.0.

If the data is structured in relatively small blocks, then it might be possbile to use a component to process it a block at a time, thus possibly avoiding any memory problems ... don't know, haven't tried it ... yet.
