Hello, here's a patch that speeds up aa-decode - in my case from 1.9s to 0.3s (test log with about 900 lines, with 16 encoded lines)
The trick is to use bash regex matching instead of calling egrep for each line. It would probably also be possible to replace the sed calls with bash regex matching, but the savings would be minimal because typically most lines are not encoded. BTW: Not having quotes arond the regex is intentional - with quotes added, bash wouldn't take it as regex. === modified file 'utils/aa-decode' --- utils/aa-decode 2012-10-15 22:19:49 +0000 +++ utils/aa-decode 2012-11-01 17:57:33 +0000 @@ -70,7 +70,7 @@ while read line ; do # check if line contains encoded name= or profile= - if echo "$line" | egrep ' (name|profile)=[0-9a-fA-F]' >/dev/null ; then + if [[ "$line" =~ \ (name|profile)=[0-9a-fA-F] ]]; then # cut the encoded filename/profile name out of the line and decode it ne=`echo "$line" | sed 's/.* name=\([^ ]*\).*$/\\1/g'` Regards, Christian Boltz -- I wonder how we ended up with baseurl and extra_url, now we are missing one with a "-" like "data-dir" to violate consistency and the principle of least surprise in all possible ways.
