Subject: fastest readline method

I have a script that parses a bunch of data off the wire and pipes it
into a fastercsv array.  I want to read in a text file and check certain
columns for matches from the data in the text file.  There seems to be
tons of different ways read in a file and "grep" match for something.  I
would like to do this in the fastest possible method.  Reading in the
file each time could potentially take too long, so I assume reading it
into memory would be my best bet but perhaps not.  I can arrange the
data in the file in any manner, 1 entry per line, delimited some how or
whatever.

Does anyone have any suggestions on my best bet to do this?

thanks
