Hi. It's interesting.

This will probably be the fastest. awk -F "|" ' $2 ~ /^f/{required[$7]=$7; count++} END{FS="[/.]"; while("find files -name *.gz" | getline>0) if($2 in required) if(--count<=0) exit(0); exit(count)}' "$@" It verifies entries using hashtable instead of sort. Therefore, it is O(n+m) instead of O(n*log(n))+O(m*log(m)) in theory. I am not well aware how good awk's associate array is, though. Regards, Hiro
