re: Unix
From the command-line, I'm currently running a find command piped to
xargs grep:
find . -f print | xargs egrep "some string to look for"
There is an occassional requirement that this be done and it must parse
a hierarchy of directories and files which number in the many thousands.
Run from the commandline takes a long, long time. I even re-niced the
command -10 as root, but it still takes hours.
Would perl be able to optimize the search and grep better than what I am
currently doing?
Ideas, jokes and rants are appreciated...
