To parse a large tab delimited text file

[PeeJay]

Hi,

I have a large tab delimited text file provided each day by my importer (about 8 M😎. I would like to compare that file with my database by giving a column value.

This .txt file resides at the local server.

I have tried fgets(), but seems it cannot handle that large file. Because file() also not working. Any idea?

Thanks in advance.
