Yes apparently my solution solved the large input file as well. I don't see why it shouldn't.
This is my solution in Ruby : (easiest programming language to understand IMO) filename = ARGV[0] input = IO.readlines(filename) output = File.new('output', 'w') L = input[0].split(' ')[0].to_i D = input[0].split(' ')[1].to_i N = input[0].split(' ')[2].to_i words = [] testcases = [] 1.upto(D) do |i| words[i-1] = input[i] end (D+1).upto(D+N) do |i| testcases[i-D-1] = input[i] testcases[i-D-1] = testcases[i-D-1].gsub('(','[').gsub(')',']') end testcases.each_with_index do |t, i| r = Regexp.new(t.to_s) count = 0 words.each do |w| count+=1 if !r.match(w).nil? end output.puts "Case ##{i+1}: #{count}\n" end output.close Thanks & Regards, Dhruva Sagar.
