Hello everyone, We use the Barracuda Spam appliance (barracudanetworks.com) to filter our spam and their web based interface is written in Perl. They have a form that allows the user to search messages for key words. Evidentally it stores the each message in a file in a directory and when trying to search several hundred thousand messages for a word the response back is:
egrep: argument list too long It looks like their using grep via a system command or the grep function in Perl. Now, to my question. How do others get around the limitations of sending stuff to grep? I know they're probably not aware of it yet as we just got the firmware update the other day. I'm a perl programmer so I thought I'd try to figure out the solution and send it to them to incorporate into the firmware. Any ideas?
