But it is written in pure perl, so it should be quite slower then grep. BTW, run grep with LANG=C to speed it up under unicode locale. Also, it seems the author thinks that GNU grep does not handle perl regexps. This is not true, and I use them heavily. Something like this: some perl code generates a perl regexp and opens "grep", "-rlP" with it. grep --help | grep perl Now, if you find a program that does perl regexps and is available on all platforms (like GNU grep) and is faster than grep, then let me know, because I need it badly on large directories. :) Regards, Mikhael. -- perl -le 'print+chr(64+hex)for+split//,d9b815c07f9b8d1e' _______________________________________________ Perl mailing list [email protected] http://perl.org.il/mailman/listinfo/perl
