I was trying to find the average age of all employees in a records-file. I couldn't do it gracefully by simple means and wasted an hour. Then God said "Let there be awk" and the solution was just a one-liner :)<br /><br />Try this: Sort a file with a billion records on a dual-core in the fastest possible way. (choose your own file structure). A one-liner would be to use "sort" but it'll waste one core. (Hint: use split, sort and merge).What's in the namehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01819105731065341920noreply@blogger.com
