Even with massive assistance from the Operating System, writing to a disk will take a long time, measured in milliseconds. If you are not doing much processing other than string-replacement, your process-time will be relatively short, probably a few microseconds per file. You may get better throughput by running multiple processes. Batch up your input files and run several instances of your code, one per batch. If you can't use divide-and-conquer, you might look at fork() and try running multiple child-processes under the covers. > > > > > > -- > Thanks > Ram > <http://www.netcore.co.in/> > > > > > n <http://pragatee.com> > -- Bob Goolsby bob.gool...@gmail.com
