I'm trying to import a 5.17GB comma delimited text file. (FMP 9 or FMP 11, OSX 10.6.8)

It seems to just stop about 10% of the way in, at the same place, every time. Is there some system file size limit that I'm hitting? Oddly, Textspresso also stops reading the file at the same place.

I can open the file with TextEdit, where I can see all of the text. Unfortunately, TextEdit chokes when I try to save the file. Everything else I have chokes.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
