Hi All,

I have the following code sequence for reading some bulk file and moving the content to two different arrays.

while read data
do
THREEG_PATTERN=`echo $data | egrep "3G"`
if [ "$data" == "$THREEG_PATTERN" ]
then
NEW_THREEG_PATTERN=`echo $THREEG_PATTERN | cut -d " " -f2`
THREEG_ARRAY[$IDX]=$NEW_THREEG_PATTERN
IDX=$(($IDX+1))
else
SP_ARRAY[$IDX_SP]=$data
IDX_SP=$(($IDX_SP+1))
fi

done < $_pat

This code is working perfectly but this is taking long time because of big file size.... How can i improve the performance of this process by using awk or other mechanism? Or how can i convert this entire code to awk? Looking forward ur reply

Thanks in advance
Subin
