I have to read a file with 4000 lines or more, when i run this code the sketch reads something near to 500 lines only. Is there some kind of limitation? i’d try with double variables too but didan’t work.

```auto
//global variables
String[] str;
float[] pressao = new float [100000];
float[] alt = new float [100000];
float[] pitch=new float [100000];
float[] roll=new float [100000];

void setup(){
  str = loadStrings("data/DATA.TXT");
  
  String[] arry = new String[str.length];

  for (int i=0; i < arry.length; i++) {
    String[] thisLine = split(str[i] , " " );
    
    pressao[i] = float (trim(thisLine[0]));
    alt[i] = float (trim(thisLine[1]));
    pitch[i] = float(trim(thisLine[2]));
    roll[i] = float(trim(thisLine[3]));
    
  print("pressão: "+pressao[i]);
  print(" | altitude: "+alt[i]);
  print(" | pitch: "+pitch[i]);
  println(" | roll: "+ roll[i]);
  }
}

```

the file its like that:  
1016.25 3082.09 -18.17 14.89  
1016.26 3082.14 -18.04 15.06  
1016.26 3082.14 -18.00 15.00  
1016.26 3082.14 -18.29 14.76  
1016.26 3082.14 -18.23 15.32  
1016.26 3082.14 -18.25 15.18  
1016.26 3082.14 -18.03 15.15  
1016.26 3082.14 -18.06 15.13  
1016.26 3082.14 -18.15 15.09  
1016.26 3082.14 -18.08 14.86  
1016.26 3082.14 -18.15 15.20  
1016.26 3082.14 -18.12 14.94

Much probably the problem is that the PDE’s console is limited. 💩  
That is, you end up seeing the last 500 hundred values logged by your **print()** commands. 🙈  
But rest assured, your arrays grabbed everything. 😌

Instead of println you can write in an array and save it as a logfile with saveStrings()
