Does the Sort function have an upper limit?

Post by kengrubb »

Recently had the need to sort and remove duplicates from a 125 MB file with about 8.5 million records, that reduced down to about 10 unique records.

Wondered about how well it would hold up to something more vigorous. So I cloned the data to build a 1.5 GB file with 100 million records. Took about 15 minutes, but TP successfully sorted and removed duplicates.
(2[Bb]|[^2].|.[^Bb])

That is the question.
