Let's make a challenge versus awk and other implementations.
Source idea was here on StackOverflow
Reported here as the original question from
Given a 10 Million line input file created by this script:
$ awk 'BEGIN{for (i=1;i<=10000000;i++) print (i%5?"miss":"hit"),i," third\t \tfourth"}' > file
$ wc -l file
10000000 file
$ head -10 file
miss 1 third fourth
miss 2 third fourth
miss 3 third fourth
miss 4 third fourth
hit 5 third fourth
miss 6 third fourth
miss 7 third fourth
miss 8 third fourth
miss 9 third fourth
hit 10 third fourth
and given this awk script which prints the 4th then 1st then 3rd field of every line that starts with "hit" followed by an even number:
$ cat tst.awk
/hit [[:digit:]]*0 / { print $4, $1, $3 }
Here are the first 5 lines of expected output:
$ awk -f tst.awk file | head -5
fourth hit third
fourth hit third
fourth hit third
fourth hit third
fourth hit third
and here is the result when piped to a 2nd awk script to verify that the main script above is actually functioning exactly as intended:
$ awk -f tst.awk file |
awk '!seen[$0]++{unq++;r=$0} END{print ((unq==1) && (seen[r]==1000000) && (r=="fourth hit third")) ? "PASS" : "FAIL"}'
PASS
On each commit a build is launched on travis CI wich produce a markdown file with the results. The build ensure each script pass the test and then run it without output enclose by time to measure the time taken The resulting file is inserted in a gh-pages site visible here which is updated at end of each build
- Fork this repository
- Add your script to be tested in the
test/<desired language>directory - If there's not already a launcher, create one (try to keep close from others to not loose time)
- Make a pull request ;)
- Find participant to get tests in other languages
