I had a look at get_last_msg_num().
- any special reason why last msg number is not stored in .mhonarc.db?
It is to avoid clobbering msg files that someone may not want clobbered.
- the routine seam to be a bit complicated, therefore ...
I agree.
I've hacked together:
sub new_get_last_msg_num {
opendir(DIR, $'OUTDIR) || &error("ERROR: Unable to open $'OUTDIR");
local ($max) = -1;
grep { /msg0*(\d+).html/; $max=$1 if $1 > $max; } readdir(DIR);
close(DIR);
$max;
}
The above is not legal perl 4. See if the following is comparable
in speed performance:
sub get_last_msg_num {
opendir(DIR, $'OUTDIR) || &error("ERROR: Unable to open $'OUTDIR");
local($max) = -1;
foreach (readdir(DIR)) {
if (/msg0*(\d+).htm/) {
$max = $1 if $1 > $max;
}
}
close(DIR);
$max;
}
--ewh
