I mostly revert to good ole loop/recur for these large file processing
exercises. Here's a template you could use (includes a try/catch so
you can see errors as you go);
(import '(java.io BufferedReader FileReader PrintWriter File))
(defn process-log-file
"Read a log file tracting lines matching regx."
[in-fp out-fp regx]
(with-open [rdr (BufferedReader. (FileReader. (File. in-fp)))
wtr (PrintWriter. (File. out-fp))]
(loop [line (.readLine rdr) i 0]
(if line
(try
(let [fnd (re-matches regx line)]
(when-not (nil? fnd)
(.println wtr line))) ; or whatever
(recur (.readLine rdr) (inc i))
(catch Exception e (prn line e)))
))))
Regards, Adrian.
