( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
I have a simple script that reads a small file (115k, 759 lines, 40 tab delimited columns per line) into an array and uses the Schwartzian Transform to sort on any given column. When I use this transform my process peaks out at approximately 5160000K, 40K over my 5MB of accessible address space (default on a chrooted ZEUS server, so Im told). The address space can only be bumped up another 2MB, so if my data source gets much larger, which it will, I'll be up the creek. Im surprised that I need 5MB to sort this little file, but at any rate I need another solution. Any ideas?
open FILE, "<$data_file"; @file_data = <FILE>; close FILE; @file_data = map { $_->[0] } sort { $b->[0] cmp $a->[0] } map { [ $_, (split(/\t/)) ] } @file_data; print qq(<TABLE BORDER="1">); for(@file_data){ print qq(<TR>); for(split(/\t/)){print qq(<TD>$_</TD>)}; print qq(</TR>); } print qq(</TABLE>);

  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
