Chris,Interesting code. Do you have any performance testing on your method compared to the DelimitedSplit8k function? (Click here for the latest Delimited Split Function.)
Hi Wayne, no I've not done serious performance testing on this method yet. My guess is that the DelimitedSplit8k function would be faster, however 5 seconds per 100,000 rows on a slow box is very reasonable.
Thanks for the link, it's easy to lose track of version updates. I'll do some testing when the time becomes available.
