I'm using a java class (RandomAccessFile) to read through a large text log file. My applet has a search capability, but it is not very efficient.
This is my lack of a Computer Science degree shows up. My search is a vanilla linear text search starting at the beginning and going to the end of the text file. It takes about 9 seconds to search approximately 1% of the file. I made this work by stopping it at a certain point (100 arbitrary "pages"). Not too bad. But are they more sophisticated, efficient and/or quicker methods to search an unordered text file for matching parameter strings? Can these methods be utilized in a simple ColdFusion and/or Java way without 3 months of study? -------------- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA "C code.
