Hello,
I am trying to sort a large (4G) file consisting only of strings of length
50 on the alphabet {A,C,T,G}. While the built in Julia sort() works, it
uses quite a bit of memory. I have had good success using the linux command
LC_ALL=C sort larg_file.txt -o out.txt, but get the following error when I
try to evaluate the command run(`LC_ALL=C sort larg_file.txt -o out.txt`)
in Julia:
ERROR: could not spawn `LC_ALL=C sort large_file.txt -o out.txt`: no such
file or directory (ENOENT)
in _jl_spawn at process.jl:217
in spawn at process.jl:348
in spawn at process.jl:389
in run at process.jl:470
Running the command
export LC_ALL=C in the shell before running Julia works, but I would like
to be able to do this directly from Julia. Unfortunately, the command
run(`export LC_ALL=C`) also returns the error:
ERROR: could not spawn `export LC_ALL=C`: no such file or directory (ENOENT)
in _jl_spawn at process.jl:217
in spawn at process.jl:348
in spawn at process.jl:389
in run at process.jl:470
Does anyone know how to set LC_ALL=C in julia using run()?
Thanks,
~David
