Re: Pls help optomize - ksh version 60% faster!

I really can't tell what you are doing there. What I noticed is:

You are "split(ing) the entry type from the actual verbage to be searched for" for each and every log file entry found.
Better is to do that once and for every ini file entry outside the loop
You are using some "strange constructs" like
```
if (condition) {
    next LOOP;
}
else {
    # main part to do
}
[download]
```
instead of the "cleaner" solution without else.
But I don't think this will add to the running time
Something I only use in java and never in perl found here: if (length($entry) == 0)why not simply: ~~if (not $entry) or even~~ if ($entry eq "")? But again: Not that runtime issue, i think.

I'd suggest to fix the entry preparation first.

Update: Thanks to ikegami for reminding me of 0 ;-)

why not simply: `if (not $entry)` Because that would also be false for "0". `if ($entry eq "")` (as you mentioned) works, and so does `if (not length $entry)` (my usual) and `unless (length $entry)`	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Actually I had those that way originally.. there was a $entry that passing the if. What's left was my attempts at finding that problem. I could now revert them back. coreolyn	[reply]
