what's the best way to find the set bits in the output from select? I really didn't want to do a brute force loop over every bit in the vec. Would something like this be faster?
perl -le '$vec = pack "N", 0xF00F0001; $a = unpack ("b*", $vec); print $a; while ($a =~ /1/g) {print pos ($a)-1}' 00001111111100000000000010000000 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 24 is there an "official" cunning recipe for this? Nicholas Clark
