hi , i am making a program for desktop search. in order to make it more effective im implementing the records in the form of a tree(files starting with 'a','b','c'....have different trees ..so 26 trees in all) in memory and writing it down in file. the max size file has 16000 records...now to implement the tree in list i'm using line no as index ..and empty child nodes are represented as "\n" all this work is going on in the memory.. problem is the system eats up my 512 mb RAM +1gb virtual store n hangs cant think of an effective way to implement tree in memory(i can compact it on disk by writing just the index no..along with the record from which tree in memory can be reconstructed, but i have to implement tree as previous to implement random access) please help.. rohit sethi delhi college of engineering
