Large text document processing in vb6

[falahjomor]

13-15kB is not a large file.
In fact you could store easily one file in ONE string only.
So you could possibly store 2000 files in an array of strings.
You want to watch out, however, how to treat Unicode files.
I have some cool links for unicode processing in my office. I shall post them tomorrow.
Generally, when having unicode strings loaded properly, processing should be no problem. You only have to watch when writing unicode back to a file.

Thank you very much. really appreciated. will wait for ur links tomorrow.
by the way. how about finding the frequency of each word in a text at whole ? how can I store them? what is suitable data structure to store each word and its frequency ?
