Need Help??

in reply to Re: Eating RAM problem
in thread Eating RAM problem

Chromatic, I need to get each element into an array. If the file size is 2 million bytes, then the array should have 2 million elements. How can I do that without draining RAM? Using your sub I get:

@blah = by_string($file);
$i = 0;
foreach(@blah){
   $i ++;
}
print $i; # Prints 1... not what I am looking for

Then use `length $blah[0]` instead. You can do anything with strings that you can do with an array of 0's and 1's. The syntax is just a little different. Ron Steinke rsteinke@w-link.net	[reply] [d/l]

Why do you need to get each element into an array? Could you `use Tie::VecArray;` ?	[reply] [d/l]
