Reading files of any size in Delphi

[topcat01]

What would be the best method to read files of any file size in Delphi? I know of a 2gb limitation in some i/o functions in Delphi, does this apply to all functions? Is the use of TFileStream the best option?

A little more information would be helpful.... do you want to read the whole file into memory at once? Does it NEED to all be in memory at once? .. or .. is it a record oriented file? .. or is it a variable-length-delimeted file .. or ..
???? When you say "...any size", is that record size, filesize?

Regards,

Hi

It would be an untyped file, read in blocks, it does not need to be in memory all at once. By "any size" i mean the filesize in total.

Thanks
