If you're not going to do analysis more complex than what you've described I'd say straight java is a better option.<br> <br> That being said, this is one thing to try:<br> <br> 1) Add a "processed" property of type boolean to Line, default value false.<br> 2) Set processed = true on Lines that are matched<br> 3) Have a low salience rule (lower than all other rules that match a Line) that matches a Line with processed == false and retracts it. It must be low enough priority so it fires after any other rules that could match the Line.<br> <br> --- On Fri, 10/17/08, hare ram <<a href="mailto:hare.bond@gmail.com" target="_blank">hare.bond@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br> <br> > From: hare ram <<a href="mailto:hare.bond@gmail.com" target="_blank">hare.bond@gmail.com</a>><br> > Subject: [rules-dev] Performance Question<br> > To: <a href="mailto:rules-dev@lists.jboss.org" target="_blank">rules-dev@lists.jboss.org</a><br> > Date: Friday, October 17, 2008, 1:56 PM<br> <div><div></div><div>> Hello all,<br> ><br> > This is the set of rules i have<br> ><br> > rule "IP Route File rule"<br> > salience 2000<br> > when<br> > Line ( line matches<br> > "^.*\s+show\s+ip\s+route\s*$" )<br> > Line ( line matches<br> > "^.*\s+dest\s+address\s*$ )<br> > file : FileFinder()<br> ><br> > then<br> > file.setFileType("ip route file");<br> > drools.halt();<br> > end<br> ><br> ><br> ><br> > All I am doing in rules is, I read each line from the given<br> > file, convert<br> > them into Line Objects and see if any of my<br> > rules matches.
