Re: searching in large file

Hi,

Loading the 114 lines into a hash,then checking whether the lines in the 300k file are present in the hash will get you started.

What you suggest means that you are trying to figure out whether the lines of file 2 are in file 1. Although it is not entirely clear, the OP apparently was trying to know whether the lines of file 1 are in file 2. So, the other way around. So it's probably the second file that should be loaded into a hash (which is not a problem despite the second file being significantly larger, as it is not that large), and then one should lookup each line of file 1 in the hash. Update: actually, it is really not clear in which way the OP wants to search: at one point, it says one way, and at another point, it seems to say the other way around.	[reply]
