move tfile to tstringlist

[dad45]

I have borrowed code that I don't understand but it serves my purpose. The code saves Text data in a TFile, i.e. MyNewStuff.txt. I want to put it into a TSringlist pronto. Immediately after saving the TFile and closing same, is the data still in memory when I say "MyTStringlist.loadfromfile('MyNewStuff.txt');" Does it require a hard drive access to do the above. I want to avoid multiple HD accesses.

Not a polished Delphi programmer but Thank You just the same,

Can you post a snippet of the saving procedure?

If you have the text data in a string, you can use the Text property of TSringList to load it into the TSringList object.

Below is the example. I don't need to save the info to HD as it is only temporarily useful.
TU for your interest in my problem.
