Quicker searching in JScript using the Bash
- by gentlesea
I am using the following JScript code to search for a string inside a file:
var myFile = aqFile.OpenTextFile(fileToSearchIn, aqFile.faRead, aqFile.ctANSI);
while(!myFile.IsEndOfFile())
{
s = myFile.ReadLine();
if (aqString.Find(s, searchString) != -1)
Log.Checkpoint(searchString + " found.", s);
}
myFile.Close();
This is rather slow. I was thinking about using bash commands in order to speed up the search in file process:
var WshShell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
var oExec = WshShell.Exec("C:\\cygwin\\bin\\bash.exe -c 'cat \"" + folderName + "/" + fileName + "\"'");
while (!oExec.StdOut.AtEndOfStream)
Log.Checkpoint(oExec.StdOut.ReadLine());
while (!oExec.StdErr.AtEndOfStream)
Log.Error(oExec.StdErr.ReadLine());
Since every time bash.exe is started a new window opens the searching is not faster than before. Is there a possibility to have the bash run in the background using another switch?
