Re: fast string parser: regex versus substr

Thanks all,

I came up with.

sub dopack {
   foreach my $i ( 0..$#data ) {
      my $line=$data[$i];
      my ($jcpu,$j,$s)=(unpack('@2A16A40A232A16', $line))[0,1,3];
      warn "$jcpu $j $s";
      # ..store the values in a hash, but that is not important here
      }
   }
[download]

And it won the benchmark competition :-)

I never really understood pack and unpack, but it am getting to like it.

`my ($jcpu,$j,$s)=(unpack('@2A16A40A232A16', $line))[0,1,3];` [download] I think you'd be better off using the "x" template to ignore the third field (with index 2): `my ($jcpu,$j,$s)= unpack('@2A16A40x232A16', $line);` [download] You can replace the leading '@2' with 'x2'', too. Or, just the reverse, replace the 'x232' with '@290'. I don't think it'll make much difference speedwise.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
