Is there anyway to prevent StackOverflow Errors with large files?
Particularly, I have problems with the following:
matching "start (.|\E)*" against any file with "start" towards the
beginning, and the StackOverflow Error occurs if the file is long enough.
Is there an easier/more efficient way to get everything in the file, or
everthing until an ending phrase "end"? Or is this a fundamental flaw
with the recursive nature of the code?
Sorry if this is somewhat of a usage question, but I'm concerned it may be
a problem with the code itself.
BTW, I did start working on the ability to collect the locations of
multiple matches for a * operator, and it works in most cases, but has
some bugs. If anyone else really needs this, I'd be happy to hurry up and
finish. Otherwise, it'll wait until I really need it.
