This week's book giveaway is in the General Computing forum. We're giving away four copies of Arduino in Action and have Martin Evans, Joshua Noble, and Jordan Hochenbaum on-line! See this thread for details.
I have a .txt file containing data in the form of
startrange,endrange,id
Now, this file has huge data like 1 million records.
I want that if someone gives me a number, i can lookup in this file to check if it falls in the range of startrange and endrange and return them the id. Now this can happen very often, so i would like to parse this beforehand in a datastructure and have it ready so one can just query the datastructure after that, or please suggest me the best approach.
I feel that i should have a stringtoken beforehand split for each line and look for the tokens in each line and keep the locid. Please guide.

I agree. Here's the link: http://ej-technologies/jprofiler - if it wasn't for jprofiler, we would need to
run our stuff on 16 servers instead of 3.
