Re: Suggestions for optimizing this code...

Do you need random access to the lines or are you just going to iterate over the array once from beginning to end?

I do need that array... Maybe what I'll do is read buffered, but write using syswrite. All I'd have to do then is replace:-



    open DF,">test.txt";
    print DF @test;
    close DF;



with:-



    sysopen(DF,"test.txt", O_WRONLY | O_CREAT);
    syswrite DF,join('', @test);
    close DF;



At least then the IO Processes for writing are down to 1!
