Hello, I wrote the following code for using egrep on many large files:
MY_DIR = '/my/path/to/dir' FILES = os.listdir(MY_DIR) def grep(regex): i = 0 l = len(FILES) output = [] while i < l: command = "egrep " + '"' + regex + '" ' + MY_DIR + '/' + FILES[i] result = subprocess.getoutput(command) if result: output.append(result) i += 1 return output Yet, I don't think that the files are searched in parallel. Am I right? How can I search them in parallel? Jaroslav -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
