What is the best way to work with a large amount of data?

Assume you have a big text file to work that you need to store and work with, what would be the best way to do that?

I will be adding / removing a lot of elements so I really want to stay away from array resizing overhead.

I don't want to step on any toes here, but would binary trees / linked lists in C++ be a better solution?

Java has those data structures aplenty: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/collections/index.html

How big is the text file? #bytes, #lines = ?

And there are specialized programs designed especially to efficiently process large text files - search the net.

Ancient still hasn't spilled the beans. He could be talking about only hundreds of lines.
