Reading data out from different files

Hi!

I wrote a small SQL-parser for SELECT-statements for the purpose of
easier switching between databases. The parser also works with
multiple-table-queries.
Until here everything is fine, but when I try to read out the
information from flatfiles I get in trouble.
An example: I'm reading all columns of 2 tables and I want to search
for something defined in the WHERE-statement. For example I want to
manage user-sessions in a control-panel and want to find out more
about the user-id in the sessions-table that belongs to a user-name in
the user-table.
In Perl I would read the content of the tables into a hash and in the
worst case I have to compare each line from the one table with all
lines from the other one. That is very unefficient.

Is there a better solution (maybe someone knows how this problem is
solved in mySQL)?

Thank you.

Mario

Cheerio, I would appreciate opinions on the following: Given the task to read a _complete_ text file into a string: What is the "best" way to do it? Handling the buffer is not the problem -- the character input is a different matter, at least if I want to remain within the bounds of the standard library.

Hello, Say I have 1000 text files and each is a list of 32768 integers. I have written a C program to read this data into a large matrix. I am using fopen in combination with fscanf to read the data in. However, it takes about 20 seconds to complete and I wonder if there is a faster way. For example, I found that I could use 'fread' to read the data into a string that looks like this:

I am working on a code library which needs to read in the data from large binary files. The files hold int, double and string data. This is the code for reading in the strings: protected internal override string ReadString() { stringLength = fileStream.ReadByte(); moInput.Read(byteArrayBuffer, 0, stringLength); return asciiEncoding.GetString(byteArrayBuffer, 0, stringLength ); }

Dear Python Community, I am an engineering and I am experiencing some trouble. Having output data from other software I want to use it. To achieve this I decided to use Python since this language is the best known for me. So.. for my future Python script, the input data are in form of: 1 1233.2E-3 2123.2323 2E+2 3453.3E+1 1233.2E-3 2123.2323 2E+2 3453.3E+1

Okay, this if my first post so go easy on me plus I've only been using C for a couple of weeks. I'm working on a program currently that requires me to read data from a .dat file into a 2d array and then print out the contents of the 2d array to the screen. I wil also need to append data to the .dat file but mostly right now I'm worrying about getting the info into the 2d array. My .dat file looks like this 1 20000 2 30000 3 40000

I have an application that is reading data from text files to the first occurrence of a double crlf. I have this working using streamreader and using readline. However, I am hitting 500+ files at a time and this is a bit slow. I was thinking of testing this using FileStream or something similar, but I am not sure how to detect the occurrence of crlf crlf? Thoughts?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
