Re: Surprisingly poor regex performance

Shouldn't
[^\n]\n
be
[^\n]*\n
I don't know if that'll help your performance problem.

This post may not have anything to do with mmap. Did you try it without using mmap?

Thanks; I tried several versions, and at some point lost my `*`. Putting it back in didn't help performance at all, though. And I agree it has nothing at all to do with `mmap`; that's just a convenient way of getting a 400K scalar variable with interesting contents.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
