Re: Re: Quickest method for matching

Hey Mike,
Thanks for your reply. Not every match will be the same, but there can be 2 to 2000 (or even more) matches.
Also, a match will not occur over 2 lines (that was a good question I had not thought of).

I will have to test your script tonight. Do you know off hand how to time a script?

Thanks again,
Dr.J

If you are on a *nix machine, check the manual page for the `time` command. It's cleaner and easier for timing a script than changing the script itself. -sauoq "My two cents aren't worth a dime.";	[reply] [d/l]

If it is a slow script: `my $begin = time(); # do stuff print "I took ", time() - $begin, " seconds\n";` [download] Otherwise see Benchmark made easy for timing faster operations cheers tachyon s&&rsenoyhcatreve&&&s&n.+t&"$'$`$\"$\&"&ee&&y&srve&&d&&print	[reply] [d/l]
