Strings as lines from other strings?

[N!ck]

With all due respect, this is what databases were developed for. Why can't you use one?

Why would I run a whole database service when I can use text files. I don't want the extra memory usage from a database sever and adding new lines to a text file will be far easier than updating a database .

Sound reasoning. If you're only doing like 8 at any one time, I guess it's fair enough to use text files...
