Are you sure you want to use rules for this? If you're not going to do analysis more complex than what you've described I'd say straight java is a better option.
That being said, this is one thing to try: 1) Add a "processed" property of type boolean to Line, default value false. 2) Set processed = true on Lines that are matched 3) Have a low salience rule (lower than all other rules that match a Line) that matches a Line with processed == false and retracts it. It must be low enough priority so it fires after any other rules that could match the Line. --- On Fri, 10/17/08, hare ram <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > From: hare ram <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: [rules-dev] Performance Question > To: [email protected] > Date: Friday, October 17, 2008, 1:56 PM > Hello all, > > This is the set of rules i have > > rule "IP Route File rule" > salience 2000 > when > Line ( line matches > "^.*\s+show\s+ip\s+route\s*$" ) > Line ( line matches > "^.*\s+dest\s+address\s*$ ) > file : FileFinder() > > then > file.setFileType("ip route file"); > drools.halt(); > end > > > > All I am doing in rules is, I read each line from the given > file, convert > them into Line Objects and see if any of my > rules matches.
