Re: Processing large file using threads

I have a file that has over 21 million lines in it ... it will take days to process each line

Did you really mean that it will take almost 60,000 years to run the code? Or did you mean it will take days to process each file?

Also, why do you think using threads will be useful?

maybe you should split it to many small text files.	[reply]

Yes, if we split it over 60,000 computers it should only take a year! Did you mean to reply to something else? "What should it profit a man, if he should win a flame war, yet lose his cool?"	[reply]
