Hi my friends,
Although the subject of the post make reference to readstring, I'm really referring to READLINE. Sorry but I don't know how to change the title of the post.

I've noticed that reading a text file of about 65000 lines with READLINE until EOF takes about 2 minutes in a medium Android device (Huawei Y6 II in this case, a mobile of 2016). In a PC the file is read instantly.
So my question is, firstly, if this is normal.
..and secondly, if so, what should be the way to accelerate dramatically the process, as is heartbreaker to have a player waiting 2 minutes until a data file is loaded .
Readbyte/integer maybe?

Thanks a lot in advance!

if you do a text$ = text$ + row$ this can slow down.

maybe convert the lines to WriteString2 into a binary format. i guess its faster.
then use ReadString2

write the count as integer then the rows
read count, dim your array, read lines into with for next
