i am trying to replace a line in a 100+mb text file. the structure is similar to the passwd file, id:value1:value2 and so on. using the sed command
works nicely, the line "123:foo:" is replaced by "123:bar:". however, it takes about 3 seconds.
using the grep command with environment variable LC_ALL set to "C" brings me the result instantly:
now, the occurrences i'm looking for are all near the end of the file, so performance loss due to i/o could be avoided, since not the whole file should be rewritten. does anyone have an idea how sed could be accelerated? several ideas pop into my mind:
make sed somehow seek to the byte offset grep can deliver rapidly
only pipe the tail starting at the occurrence to sed and somehow write the tail back to the file
find out why sed is so slow, maybe it is matching in unicode (without LC_ALL=C, grep is slow too)

About 4 years ago I wrote this tool inspired by Rob Urban's collect tool for DEC's Tru64 Unix. What makes this tool as different as collect was in its day is its ability to run at a low overhead and collect tons of stuff. I've expanded the general concept and even include data not available in... (0 Replies)

zgrep
ZGREP(1) General Commands Manual ZGREP(1)NAME
zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression
SYNOPSIS
zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...
DESCRIPTION
Zgrep invokes grep on compressed or gzipped files. These grep options will cause zgrep to terminate with an error code:
(-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*). All other options specified are passed directly to grep. If no file is specified, then the
standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep. Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep.
If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked.
EXIT CODE
2 - An option that is not supported was specified.
