<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a huge flat (text) file with each row being a record. &nbsp;This thing is about 300 MILLION records and is a textfile in a UNIX environment.<br />
<br />
I want to be able to index this file and then search for a particular string of info...all done by Java. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
We can do the same with a Sybase database, but we want to see the performance using a Java-based search.<br />
<br />
Anyone know any Java apps that will do this? &nbsp;How about non-java apps for simply indexing and searching a file?<br />
<br />
We want to keep the methods as close to the methods used to index the WWW as possible.<br />
<br />
<br />
Much thanks to anyone who can help!<br />

index and search a HUGE text file w/Java

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
