Hi people,
with version 4.9 of my ElfData plugin, my ElfDataStream class
(Written in RB), seems to allow for me to beat perl's speed by 2x
even on Intel macs. Previously mine was around 4x faster for G5, but
on Intel it's only at 2x. Still it's OK. (You can actually test this
today, via my plugin at http://elfdata.com/plugin/elfdata.zip )
I am doing a proper comparison unlike Kem Tekinay's one where he did:
IsOdd = ( IsOdd = false )
which is blatantly cheating. Mine does exactly the same as the perl
one does.
Also, ElfDataStream is an RB made class, competing against a compiled
class (TextInputStream), so I will be able to get probably 2x more
speed when I make ElfDataStream into an ElfData plugin class.
Sorry for the delay. I've been really, really busy making real money.
And I've been trying to figure out some bugs in the ElfDataFuzzy
class (invention of mine) for which I'm trying to add Smith-Waterman
compatible searching, and it's sort of low level C code trying to do
high-level computery science stuff so it's hard to figure out the
bugs. And there's no one to help me because I'm inventing it so that
slows things down too. Well it's getting there, though. Anyhow, that
ElfDataFuzzy bug (now fixed) also slowed down this release of ElfData.
The code is very simple now, unlike last time:
dim d1, d2 as Double
dim strIn, fs as ElfDataStream
dim q1, q2 as ElfData
dim fi as ElfDataFields
d1 = ticks
q1 = 34
q2 = q1 + q1
fs = "ElfDataOut.txt"
strIn = new ElfDataStream( f ) // f is a folderitem
fi = strIn.Fields
while strin.MoveLine
if fi.length = 0 then
//
elseif fi.IsInteger then
fs.AppendString "case "
fs.AppendElfData fi
else
fs.AppendString "r = """
fs.AppendReplace fi, q1, q2
fs.AppendByte 34
fs.AppendByte 10
end if
fs.AppendByte 10
Wend
fs.Length = fs.Length - 1
fs = nil // write out and flush stuff!!
strin = nil
d2 = ticks
statusField.text = str( (d2 - d1) / 60 ) + "s"
Oh, the ElfDataStream.rb project is included in my plugin download :)
It's in the Examples folder in the elfdata.zip file.
Let me know if you find any problems anyone. I'll fix them right away.
