Hi,
Thanks Alan.
Now I have made changes in code :
Present code:
*f = open("output.txt")content=f.read().split('\n') f.close()for lines in
content:*
* <processing>*
*content.clear()*
Previous code:
*f = open("output.txt") content=io.StringIO(f.read()) f.close()for lines in
content: <processing>*
*content.close()*
Now I have found that memory use is roughly 1.5 times the size of text
file. Previously it was around 4-5 times. Its remarkable change. Waiting
for more suggestions.
Thanks,
