Hello all, I have an Unicode text file with 1.6 billon lines (~2GB) that I'd like to sort based on first two characters.
I'd greatly appreciate if someone can post sample code that can help me do this. Also, any ideas on approximately how long is the sort process going to take (XP, Dual Core 2.0GHz w/2GB RAM). Cheers, Ira -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
