Hi there, I do have one type A file, that holds about 25.000 A-ids, one per line. Furher I have 500 type B files in a dir that hold 10-500 B-ids each, one per line. All files are -T Now i want to generate 500 type C files, corrosponding to the b files:
each B-id, that occours in a B-type file AND the A-type file should go into the corrosponding C-file. Each A id is unique in the A file, each B-id is unique in its file BUT NOT i all the Bfiles: each B id may occure in one or more B files. Im lookin for a fast and memory concious way to do that. I guess, there might be better ideas then foreach bfile in B-file-dir foreach b-id in Bfile foreach a-id in Afile print to Cfile and next Bfile if a_id eq b_id thank a lot, wolf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
