Thank you two for the speedy replies. I think i will use vectors, i had forgotten about them until you mentioned them, lectricpharaoh. I will also look up "memory-mapped files" on google and see what i can find out about them.

The lines of the file will be variable lengths and the program will need to be able to go to any specific line at any time and read from there on (like loops.)

As for my OS and compiler, i am running Windows XP and using GNU GCC Compiler.
