I need to create an xml file from a tilde delimited file. The challengs is that the XML could easily be a large as 6+ GB. Obviously I cannot use the typical in-memory methods. Anyone have a similar issue and resolution?

Who do you think forces you into using in-memory methods? After all, writing data in XML is merely string output.
Why do you think that an expert would need to "have a similar issue" to answer this very simple question?

WOW...is that really necessary? I am just asking if anyone has had to write very large XML files. This is not the first time I recieve a snotty response on this site. Guess it's time to drop this site from my list of resources. UNBELIEVABLE!

Excuse me what "necessary"? Sorry, I could not understand this part of your post.

I'm giving you a reasonable friendly advise, and you are kinda playing offense card. It's up to you what you use, but people like myself believe in you and act in assumption that you can use your own brain to get answers, which is always much more valuable. If you need to get spoon-fed, you won't get much, no matter what resource you can use.

Really... sorry for meeting your expectations.

But... what's wrong with Solution 1? This is exactly what you need. Are you going to accept it formally?

Thank you for your understanding.

You comment that my question was above your help: "Why do you think that an expert would need to "have a similar issue" to answer this very simple question?"

All right, thanks for your clarification.

It means that I could have said "is it necessary?", not you. I mean, this was the advice not to limit your request by people who experienced the same problem you did. Addressing to the people who experienced the same problem is not at all necessary. Just the opposite, some people who never experienced that problem just because they saw right approach well before facing the problem, who did not really faced it, are more likely to help.

This is just one example of the case when you don't need people who have had similar problem to help you.
There is nothing snobbish in that (I would prefer this expression), it's just pure logic and addressing to facts of life. If you don't limit your request too much, you can more likely get a useful advice.

Thank you for your understanding.
