Reading a large data file

[nafg]

@Russ

Actually, I am reducing the number of lines and the size of each line, but that is irrelevant here. When I run it, I get:

Exception in thread “main” java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Requested array size exceeds VM limit

Is it really irrelevant? Do you get that error with the snippet you showed? That would be very surprising, especially since there is no array in sight.
