Hi monks,
I need to do the following, comparing two files with known variations. Formatfile-1:DateWithTime$#$IDfield$#$Duration$#$ file-2: DateWithTime$#$IDfield$#$Duration$#$ Where i should do the comparison of these two files. The variation which i need to incorporate is, in the first field time difference can be 1 sec, or 1 minute, or 1 day. IDfield difference can be, 1 or 2. Duration can be, 5 second difference. Example:file-1:07/01 10:11:30$#$101$#$4 Sec$#$ file-2: 07/01 10:12:30$#$101$#$8 Sec$#$ Here the time difference allowed up to 2 min, and duration difference allowed is up to 5 sec. So now we need to mark these two lines are same. One more thing is, both the file may have 25,000 lines each minimum, which i need to compare and display a report. So, what is the best way to do this ? Is there any tool, or any module to do this ? Update: 25000 lines each to 25,000 lines each minimum. And one more question which will be a good delimeter in Perl. I use $#$ in other languages, but here $ mentions scalar, so what is good delimiter here ?
