Hi monks,
I want to convert the entities like &ge, &le, into hexa values ≥, ≤.
The contents of the file are in $string.
I am storing the %entitylist in a separate file. This file consists of 15,000 entities and hexadecimal values e.g. '&ge' => '≥'. So from the below code it takes 20 seconds to process each file as it has to read the entitylist file and replace with hexa value.
while (my ($key, $value) = each(%entitylist)){
#print $key."\n".$value."\n";
$string =~ s/$key/$value/g;
}
Is there any other solution to minimise the process time. thanks monks for your suggestions.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

are good places to start.
