Re: [Haskell-cafe] ANN: TxtSushi 0.1

Thanks for the encouraging reply! By the way, I was part way through writing my own code for external sorting which I don't actually use yet except from some test executable (joincol.hs). I'm very glad to see that there is already a library that does this though, so in my next version I will dump the custom code and use the external sort package. Also I will look into making the switch to ByteStrings. Thanks Keith On Sun, May 17, 2009 at 11:53 AM, Eugene Kirpichov wrote:

By the way: As I see from the sources, your code uses external sort? But using String's much defeats the purpose of it, anyway, because their performance is so bad that if you feed your program a file that is larger than can be sorted in memory, sorting it externally using String's will anyway take much more time then you are likely to be comfortable waiting. You should consider switching to ByteString's, and beware memory leaks.

Hello Haskell Cafe

I have released the first version of TxtSushi which is a collection of command line utils (written in haskell of course) for processing tab-delimited and CSV files. It includes a util for doing SQL SELECTs on flat files. This is my first haskell project and feedback of all kinds is appreciated.

Home Page: http://www.keithsheppard.name/txt-sushi Darcs Repository: http://patch-tag.com/r/txt-sushi/home Issue Tracking: http://code.google.com/p/txt-sushi

I would like to say thanks to the haskell-beginners contributors, the author of "Learn you a Haskell" and the author of the parsec library all of which were very helpful.
