Hi Adam,

It should be relatively easy to modify my current buffering code to work with different delimiters, but I wonder if I'd be better off just using the _C_IFS_(fopen,fclose,fread) functions.

Do you mean that you want to read your file using fgets()? If so, please be aware that fgets() can only be configured to read lines of text delimited by either LF or CRLF. It can't be used with any arbitrary delimiter.

if you really mean fread(), then I'd suggest setting up some loops and benchmarking the diff. Essentially, fread() and read() work the same -- except that fread buffers the data. Will it perform better than buffering it yourself? Hard to say without benchmarking... and I haven't done any.

Using fread() would certainly easier, since you don't have to write the buffering code... but that ease of use does you no good if you don't get better performance.
