I'm trying to help out another developer with a mini-Perl script. He has a file that contains one very long line, about 28M in size. He needs to do a replacement of all occurances of
|^NEWLINE^|^ to a literal newline (HPUX, 0x0a or "\n"). When I ran this $ perl -ne 's/|^NEWLINE^|^/\n/g;print' loadFile it choked and gave me Out of memory during "large" request for 1073745920 bytes, total sbrk() is 604078796 bytes at -e line 1, <> line 1. Any suggestions would be extremely helpful. Thanks Jeff __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
