Bash Version: 4.1 Patch Level: 7 Release Status: release Description: I am a programmer working in Japan. I encountered a very slow problem of replacing string in one of my script. I hope to be fixed in the future release. I attach a sample script of the essence. --- cut here --- #!/bin/bash # str_replace_perf.bash # # prepare 1000 strings of 6 digits # TEST_LIST=`seq 100100 100 200000` echo $TEST_LIST | wc # # delete "150000" # T0=$SECONDS A=${TEST_LIST//150000} T1=$SECONDS B=`echo $TEST_LIST | sed s/150000//g` T2=$SECONDS # # results # echo T1-T0=$((T1-T0)) echo T2-T1=$((T2-T1)) # verify echo $A | md5sum echo $B | md5sum ---------------- Repeat-By: Please run 'str_replace_perf.bash' . The next is a result on my machine. # ./str_replace_perf.bash 1 1000 7000 T1-T0=10 T2-T1=0 de028ddb26bdd0b5aa062b1b8e753665 - de028ddb26bdd0b5aa062b1b8e753665 - I recognized that current Bash's ${TEST_LIST//150000} syntax is very slow. I hope to be improved in the future. Best Regards, s-taka (Satoshi Takahashi) - this is my name.
