Read file component

Hello,

I tried opening a .txt file with the GH 'Read File' component and it immediately crashed Rhino.

Granted, the file did contain about 12,000 numerals concatenated to form a string with approx. (figure about average 4 decimals per numeral) 48,000 characters comprising the string. The numerals are delimited with an ';' for separation in GH.

I tested it running GH 0.8.7 using both Rhino 4 SR9 and 5 WIP.

The .txt file is attached so you can test it's behavior on other systems. I have yet to put real effort in running performance test on various file sizes yet, I may get back with something later.

Best!

Yeah I can repeat. The problem seems to be that all the data is on a single line. Grasshopper tries to format this one line into a tooltip which results in an overflow.

I'll about fixing it. In the meantime, I replaced the semi-colons with newline characters, and it loads fine that way.
