Thank you! Not my first crack at that problem, just the first one good enough to bother reusing.
I wrote it in Perl since a
while read LINE loop isn't terribly efficient when thousands to millions of lines are involved. [edit: Actually, I wrote perl since the original read raw binary...] This probably doesn't matter when the
grep is going to be taking so much longer anyway.
I see what you mean about that bug. I should be opening the process after a line is read, not before.
That's a nice translation, and putting the args in getopt makes it look so much more standard/official.
I really don't like the look of that
eval, though. Eval would have made my life easier in
perl too, but I worked hard to avoid it, to keep things safe and sane -- it will do weird things like eating quotes, evaluating accidental expressions, mangling things containing $, executing backticks, stopping at # considering it a comment, etc. Even if it takes 30 lines of code to do the same thing without it, that'd be better. Or maybe the value should be exported to the environment. I'll see what I can do...
