Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Performance analysis sed vs awk Post 302667257 by zer0sig on Friday 6th of July 2012 02:37:49 AM

you could always try a comparison script to see how these are performing on your machine - e.g.

Code:
#!/bin/sh
time `sed -n '25000,26000 p' filename`
time `awk 'NR==25000,NR==26000' filename`
exit 0

it would be trivial to add more information, or to cron this and take samples several times a day for a week - while sed and awk are among the more mature chunks of code in a modern Unix system and one would figure that both are about as quick and elegant as they will ever get, there are still plenty of variables that could make a difference. You may find that during certain times of day or when certain other processes are running, the speed differences may vary wildly.

Routing table vulnerability comparison between two versions and analysis of performance in a scenari

Hi Routing tables in a typical linux kernel are implemented using hash data structures. So if the hash table is forced to behave more like a linked list(i.e create chaining) the purpose of using hash is defeated and time complexity increases. I want to try to assess the performance deterioration... (0 Replies)

igawk - gawk with include files SYNOPSIS
igawk [ all gawk options ] -f program-file [ -- ] file ... igawk [ all gawk options ] [ -- ] program-text file ... DESCRIPTION
Igawk is a simple shell script that adds the ability to have ``include files'' to gawk(1). AWK programs for igawk are the same as for gawk, except that, in addition, you may have lines like @include getopt.awk in your program to include the file getopt.awk from either the current directory or one of the other directories in the search path. OPTIONS
See gawk(1) for a full description of the AWK language and the options that gawk supports. EXAMPLES
cat << EOF > test.awk @include getopt.awk BEGIN { while (getopt(ARGC, ARGV, "am:q") != -1) ... } EOF igawk -f test.awk SEE ALSO
