Re: How to store large strings?

Lemme' guess...

Computer 1 is a TRS-80; computer 2 may have a Z80 CPU and run CP/M....

Congratulations on porting Perl to either... :-)

Seriously, a quick check of questions posted here suggests that others working with "large DNA sequences" are working with strings f a a a r longer than those you cite. Unless you're working on a shared system with ~~incredibly~~; no, make that "unbelieveably" tight user-space limits, there's something missing in the picture you've presented so far.

Computer 1 is a TRS-80; computer 2 may have a Z80 CPU and run CP/M Fond memories! A TRS-80 was my first computer, but unless my memory has failed me utterly, it already had a Z80 CPU (and with the "expansion interface" a whopping 48K of RAM).

There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James My blog: Imperial Deltronics	[reply]
