Re^2: Storing unordered data from file in memory

Good solution. You chose the way to store everything in a hash. I like this way. But of course you load the complete file into memory. But if you have enough memory I think it is a very good way.

UPDATE:

Untested: But I think the data is hex-ascii. So I think that the unpack command should use '(H2)*' instead of '(A2)*'.

No. See Intel HEX in perlpacktut for examples. (~~Also: See code by other respondents!~~ Update: Actually, now I look, I don't see any such examples.)	[reply]

Untested: But I think the data is hex-ascii. So I think that the unpack command should use '(H2)' instead of '(A2)'. Only if you want it in binary. For my purposes, I prefer to keep it in hex until I get one of two specific addresses and then convert their data. This allows me to view the data without corrupting my terminal settings.	[reply]
