When parsing a large log file which one would be better for performance splice or split? Every line is in a standard format and I would be using splice/split to get 12 out of 20 space separeted words in each line. Thanks in advance. Serge
splice is used on arrays and split on scalars
so if your are using splice you will anyway be using split to create an array
Personally I think writing a regex ( probably a longish one with 20cols ) will give you best results because you are picking only few cols out of many
like ( take for eg just 5 cols and picking up 3 )
while(<LOG>){
my($a,$b,$c) = (/^(.*?) (.*?) .*? (.*?) .*$/)
....
....
....}
Just try it out and let me know Ram
