Ex: sorting 100,000 line text file, or searching > it for lines containing the string "peachblossom". Thx. I'm in the middle of putting together some numbers on this. The simple answer is: it depends. For some tasks it's comparable with Perl and faster than Python. For others, particularly things where Perl is just hacking strings and Ruby is doing lots of object creation, Ruby can come out slower. On my current figures the sort and the grep that you asked about would be roughly the same between the two languages. (For example, to find lines containing the word 'Rock' in a 32,000 line file, Ruby takes about .7s, and Perl .64). I'll be soliciting more input on benchmarks when my time starts to free up again (currently sometime around the next millennium). Regards Dave
