    Better performance

    Hello Folks,

    I am facing a problem where i need to parse around 200 files, i have a
    bit of knowledge in PHP/Perl/Python (the magic P :-P)

    Which one would you suggest me since i have to generate a web
    interface ?
    And each one has his area of 'work'


    Thanks for your help !

      Python, of course.

          And where's your performance problem ?

          You don't give enough details to seriously answer your question, but
          Python is a good tool for file parsing and web development anyway...

              Trite answer: Use whatever is going to work best in your circumstances.

              All 3 languages can do what you need.

              Strong points for the languages as related to your question:

              PHP: Easy to make web pages.
              Perl: Lots of libraries, good text processing support
              Python: Easy to read and maintain

              You could even use all 3, in their strong areas. eg, PHP for the web
              page, perl for quick & dirty text-processing utils, and Python for the
              longer, more complicated scripts which you have to maintain.

              David.

                  Perl: For the maintenance problem.
                  Python: To the rescue!

                  Yes, it depends on how big the problem really is and how complicated
                  the solution has to be. Are the files all in the same format? Do they
                  have to be parsed repeatedly? Will new versions of the files be
                  released? Will the parser output go straight to a Web page or will it
                  be stored somewhere?
