But wouldn't a scripting language be less efficient than C implementation? I am not sure the time saved by traverse fewer files using pruning will be greater than the time wasted in using a scripting language. I'd like to know this beforehand before I create a custom implementation in a scripting language.
Does anybody have any data on how slow it would be compared with equivalent C implementation for directory traversal? > For this kind of advanced directory traversal rule, you may want > to use the tree scanning features of some scripting language > like the File::Find of perl. -- Regards, Peng
