in thread How to work on a large Data file line by line

I agree with AM, I've found that opening up and reading the file line by line (and operating on a line, then reading in the next line) works well in this case. However, this typically is only useful if all the data you are working with is in that line. If the data is spread across more lines, that's still not as big of a problem. However, I'd go with MidLifeXis' suggestion below if you need to act on the whole file at once. FWIW.
