How do I read in a large flat file

Question

I have a flat file that has 339276 line of text in it for a size of 62.1 MB. I am attempting to read in all the lines, parse them based on some conditions I have and then insert

Answer 1

It seems to me this variant of readLines is shorter and faster than suggested peterSO

func readLines(filename string) (map[int]string, error) {
    lines := make(map[int]string)

    data, err := ioutil.ReadFile(filename)
    if err != nil {
        return nil, err
    }

    for n, line := range strings.Split(string(data), "\n") {
        lines[n] = line
    }

    return lines, nil
}
