    As long as all the data can be contained in the string without producing memory errors, it should be. However, if you are concatenating several values together to form your big string, you could just write them to the file individually.

    I.e., turn this:

    bigString = bigString & data1
    bigString = bigString & data2
    bigString = bigString & data3
    

    To this:

    Print #1, data1
    Print #1, data2
    Print #1, data3
