Re^2: Printing Fixed Width Strings and Spliting String into Multiple Lines

Don't use my solution if you just have to print the data. I measured the time and it is slower than doing it with substr.

In the context of anything to do with file I/O the differences you may have measured are likely to be completely irrelevant. Even for lakh (10⁵) lines is the difference likely to be more than a second? Benchmarking stuff is often fun, but seldom relevant and very seldom a good reason to prefer one technique over another. It is generally better to make the code clear and maintainable even if there is a small execution speed penalty. True laziness is hard work	[reply]
