Hi,
Thanks very much to all your suggestions, I am looking into the suggestions
of Hugo and Alan.
The file is not very big, only 700KB (~20000 lines), which I think should be
fine to be loaded into memory?
I have two further questions though please, the lines are like this:
<img width="13" height="15" alt="NEW"
src="/m/I/I/star.png" />
<strong><a href="/browse/post/5354361/">Revenge
(2011)</a></strong>
</td>
<td class="final">
<span title="Exact date/time: 05-01-2011 23:08"
class="ageVeryNew">5 days </span>
</td>
<td class="final">
<span title="Exact date/time: 18-01-2011 16:06"
class="ageVeryNew">65 minutes </span>
Etc with a chunk (between each NEW) being about 60 lines, I need to extract
info from these lines, e.g. /browse/post/5354361/ and Revenge (2011) to pass
back to the output, is re the best option to get all these various bits,
maybe a generic function that I pass the search strings too?
And if I use the split suggestion of Alan's I assume the last one would be
the rest of the file, would the next() option just let me search for the
next /browse/post/5354361/ etc after the NEW? (maybe putting this info into
a list)
Thanks again
paul
