( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
The following code gathers the path names of all SGML files in a directory tree. It just runs VERY VERY slow. I am working with 33,000 files and it took this code almost 5 hours to gather everything into the array.

Is there a faster method anyone could suggest?

Be kind, I am new and this is my first post to the Monks.

Thanks!

use File::Find; use Time::localtime; $now = ctime(); my @dirs = @ARGV or die "No valid directory argument(s)"; find( sub{ m/\.sgml$/ and push @files,"$File::Find::name" and print "$ +File::Find::name\n";}, @dirs, ); $fileCount=@files; print "\nThere are $fileCount files here.\n"; $then = ctime(); print $now; print "\n"; print $then;

  • 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.
