Re^2: how can i work with huge files?

yes. the smaller is about 30MB. Now imagine some hundrents or thousants of such files needing to be processed by the script we mentioned. Quite '80s e? Further more say how hours should take, if for ONE 30MB needs 30 mins...you might reffer to 1980 hours... I need something more (P)ractical(erl) Anyway, thinking that tie:File have some potential on it ...

Since we don't know what you do to a file, how can we asses the "30 minutes to process 30Mb"? Perhaps you have been very clever to do the task at hand in just 30 minutes. Perhaps you have used an extremely slow algorithm, and it could be done in a few seconds. Who knows? Well, you know, but we don't. But I remain, as long as you think that 30 Mb is a "very large file", you're not from this era.	[reply]
