Hello
Hello,
I am writing scripts that process big files which contains too many
lines (aproximately 700 000 lines per file). My strategy until now to
solve this problem is reading line per line, something like this
while (<FILE>)
{
dosomethingwith($_);
}
Is there any way of working with multiple lines at the same time? can
anyone suggest any better strategy?
You could change the input record separator.
local $/ = ''; # read a paragraph at a time
while ( <FILE> ) {
local $/ = \32_768; # read 32,768 bytes at a time
while ( <FILE> ) {
