Re: how to remove a specific character from a file efficiently..

Why not do that in a separate process instead of adding it in your script.

perl -pi -e 's/\\n\"\)]]]$/")]]]/g' <filename>

Either via a batch script or a shell script or on command line itself or a cron job.

That will not make it any faster. It's very likely to make it slower.	[reply]

Obviously, if you call an external command it will make it more slower. My suggestion was to do it separately in a pre-process and thereafter initiate the script, so that it takes the same time.	[reply]
