title: handling about 450.000 files in a zip
body: <p>My question is simple. Would Java handle a .zip file with about 450,000 files in there? The code that I wrote would not load all of the files, just one specific file would be searched in the zip, and be read line by line. The file size is about 500kb.</p>
  
  <p>Would this work or will I get an OutOfMemory Exception?</p>
  
  <p>Oh sry, uncompressed there about 0,5MB. Zipped are they whole files about 250mb.</p>
  
  <p>Ok, the name of the Files are IDs + Date(unique) in that zip file. If i have to check a log, ill call Java and give the ID + Date and Java is reading just that one file, never more.</p>
  
  <p>Edit: It works, it works very well. About 400.000 files in a zip, if u have the Memory to Zip the Files works without any problem.</p>
  
  <p>Edit2: It works on Linux Filesystems witout a problem, on NTFS sometimes it crashed. NTFS has a problem with that musch files in 1 Zip.</p>
