I had never used Perl before. Until someone showed me Perl is very fast for text processing (using its powerful regex), despite it's an interpreted language. It even beat Delphi and FPC though both are compiled language. A few lines Perl program almost two times faster than a few pages pascal program.
Alright everyone. The answers are enough. Now I can say confidently that pascal (fpc v.2.2) is FASTER than Perl, including in text processing. ;)
Thank you very much to everyone who involves in this thread. :) -Bee- has Bee.ography at: http://beeography.wordpress.com _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
