Hi, I am working on optimization of one of the file parsing script. There are around 4,50,000 lines present in the input file. This file size is bound to increase in coming days. New entries would be added every 2 minutes.
Current script is taking around 60 seconds (average) and 150 seconds (max) time for parsing the input file and writing into the output file. Since this script is executed every two minutes (have to :( and very important script), times in seconds itself is costing me. The flow in the script is something like this: 1. Open the input file handle using the open function 2. In while loop parse the entries (using the file handle directly in while), parse the input entries. Do the sanity check required (sanity check involved is a combination of specific line format and a few regular expression check). If sanity check is successful, load the required entries into the hash. Close the input file handle. 3. Open the output file handle 4. Sorting of the hash in the required order. 5. Print hash into the file 6. Close output file handle. Any help/suggestion would be appreciated.
