YES, I do. And so I post another thread for
"Any warning if I use '03E9' like string as a key in hash."
That is about the story of why I ask that.
@array = ('b855=cdf2', 'a456=d5c9', 'a454=c8fd', 'a457=c9cf', 'a455=cfc2')
This is some sort elements I would like to put in array, where those data is
reading from a map file.
So, I guess the most beginning point is on how do I handle the data.
and I think about by array and hash. In case, the map file is about 10k
lines long, foreach matching with 1 Big5 char. So I will think which
one is the fastest method.
instead of @array, I can still have $char{'b855'} = 'cdf2', something like
that and handle it with 'exists'. I just don't know if there would be a
problem
if I start a var type handle with numeric head.
My guess, something like, 'grep' or 'exists' , machine compiled function
calls
will be faster then a runtime loop. They's why I am look for somthing like
@elemLoc = grepIndex (/pattern/, @list);
Of cause, if there is none of such thing, I think I have no choice to deal
with
it by hash.
