I have no idea what the OP is trying to do here. Perhaps a simplified example of input / output data might be helpful? In general, though, if you don't have enough memory space, the best thing to do is process a section of your data at a time, which in this case means only doing a smaller range of the phone numbers on each pass. Just do x number of passes through all the files, ignoring the data that corresponds to phone numbers outside of the current range, dump the results into a sequence of files, and merge those files into a single file. Perhaps not the most efficient way to solve the problem, but rather simple to implement.

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).
