Test it with 20 "vt100" patterns - against a five /etc/termcap files. Tests using more elaborate patters - would also be interesting. Your code should not break if given hundreds - of regular expressions or binary files to scan. - -2) Sorting Test - - Sort an input file that consists of lines like this - - var1=23 other=14 ditto=23 fred=2 - - such that each output line is sorted WRT to the number. Order - of output lines does not change. Resolve collisions using the - variable name. e.g. - - fred=2 other=14 ditto=23 var1=23 - - Lines may be up to several kilobytes in length and contain - zillions of variables. - -3) System Test - - Given a list of directories, report any bogus symbolic links contained - anywhere in those subtrees. A bogus symbolic link is one that cannot - be resolved because it points to a nonexistent or otherwise - unresolvable file. Do *not* use an external find executable. - Directories may be very very deep. Print a warning immediately if the - system you're running on doesn't support symbolic links. - - -I'll post perl solutions if people post the others. - - ---tom --- -Tom Christiansen Perl Consultant, Gamer, Hiker tchrist@mox.perl.com - - "But Billy!
