Agree with Sioln's answer, and would like to make it more "relational":
I would make 3 tables : FILE (Contains ID and File Name, and possibly # of lines, or some indicator of size);
REGEX (Contains an ID, the Regex)
OCCURRANCE (Contains Regex_ID, FIle_ID, Line number).
You can pick a regex from the REGEX table, and find all occurrances from the OCCURRANCE table.
Obviously, run a batch process to populate the tables.
Consider SQLite, if you want a fast, very lightweight,free database.
You're just jealous cause the voices are only talking to me.

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).
