Message-ID: <20020429154610.B24899@cs.pdx.edu> (raw)
I have a large text file (45Mb) which needs to be searched through in a decent
amount of time (4-5 seconds.) So far I have some Perl and shell scripts that
search it, but either they are way too slow, or if I try to tweak them to make
them faster, I usually run into low memory problems.
So I was thinking that if I write the program in C I would get better results.
Do you have any suggestions about a way to approach this, pointers about
libraries, etc?
Thanks.

PS: The search is very simple. It just tries to match the exact keywords, case
insensitive, so that's not an issue. It's file reading performance that I'm
worried about.
