Here is my Problem I get a list of a couple million phone
numbers from the State Dept. in text files that contain
Phone Numbers of people that are on the do not call list.
I have created a program that will search through the list
of numbers to see if it exists. Which took forever. So I
Created a database and used perl to import that data into tables,
and then modified the program to search the databse
The search is still taking awhile to run
The text files I get are broken down into area codes, One
contains all 573 area code one has 314 and one has 636, I
also Have a file that has cell phone numbers which is not
broken down into any order.
So i figured I would break the tables down further than area code.
The data that I get is in this format 5731231234 how do I
break this number up into 3 parts 573 123 1234
