<div dir="ltr"><p style="margin:0px;font-size:12px;line-height:normal;font-family:helvetica">Hello list, </p><p style="margin:0px;font-size:12px;line-height:normal;font-family:helvetica"><br></p><p style="margin:0px;font-size:12px;line-height:normal;font-family:helvetica">I’m working with sonifying a large number of data points using grace. The values are recorded as a .csv by another application, which I then open in excel. >From here, I have tried copying and pasting (paste special as unformatted) into word (grace doesn't do anything when I try to replace ^M or ^p) so I was using word for removing ^p and replacing with a space. I realize grace might be working, but not be as obvious as word that it is working on it. </p>

<p style="margin:0px;font-size:12px;line-height:normal;font-family:helvetica">Here are a couple specific problems:</p>
<p style="margin:0px;font-size:12px;line-height:normal;font-family:helvetica;min-height:14px"><br></p>
<p style="margin:0px;font-size:12px;line-height:normal;font-family:helvetica">1. formatting is a pain/fatal! both word and grace take minutes to paste the data into a document, and word takes a few minutes just to search and replace the ^p. I’ve tried to leave the data as is in the grace document (if it works, it’s pretty enough for me), but I often get a crash just trying to paste the data into a document in grace. Or a crash upon loading the second 24000 point stream of data. (I'll need to load ten of these 24,000 streams) When I leave the document to do something else while it churns, I get the spinning beach ball of doom when I return to grace....aaaaand, as usual, just had grace crash again while typing this while awaiting my paste. </p><p style="margin:0px;font-size:12px;line-height:normal;font-family:helvetica"><br></p><p style="margin:0px;font-size:12px;line-height:normal;font-family:helvetica">When I try with raw (unformatted) data, I've had it crash as I load (evaluate) the second 24,000 stream.</p>
<p style="margin:0px;font-size:12px;line-height:normal;font-family:helvetica;min-height:14px"><br></p>
<p style="margin:0px;font-size:12px;line-height:normal;font-family:helvetica">2. after I use Word to take out the ^p and replace with space, when I look at the file with more in terminal, every number has a ^M (carriage return in DOS/Windows-?!) in front of it and word won’t let me search and replace the ^M. (^M is not a valid special character for the Find What box according to MS word). </p>
<p style="margin:0px;font-size:12px;line-height:normal;font-family:helvetica;min-height:14px"><br></p>
<p style="margin:0px;font-size:12px;line-height:normal;font-family:helvetica">Here are my questions:</p>
<p style="margin:0px;font-size:12px;line-height:normal;font-family:helvetica"><br></p><p style="margin:0px;font-size:12px;line-height:normal;font-family:helvetica">1. Is there a limit on the amount of data points you can load into memory, or is it just the formatting characters gumming up the works? </p>
<p style="margin:0px;font-size:12px;line-height:normal;font-family:helvetica;min-height:14px"><br></p>
<p style="margin:0px;font-size:12px;line-height:normal;font-family:helvetica">2. And most important–can anyone outline a better way to work with big data streams in grace?</p>
