( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
First, thanks!

And: There is no "end-section". the end is the start of the next section and a "start-section" is one of 5-6 different tags that implemebt some kind of hierarchy between sections.
I still can parse the big file into files but in any case I need to save a data struct with the files names, sections headers, etc. so it seems as a double wrok.

I finally solved it by Tie::File module, reading "line by line" from the tie array, and save for each section its name, its place at hierarchy and start and end index.
I ended up with one read of the whole file, and then direct access to each section by its name.

However, I was worried about the size of the tie array, but I guess it won't be bigger than 4 or 8 bytes multiple by the number of lines. I can live with (and correct me if I'm wrong :-)).

thanks again!
Keren.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
