Re: Script to create huge sample files

You're welcome.

Anyways coming to my first question:
a.) What do I need to do to make sure that length of new file will

increase

every time the step 4 is executed.

Although it may have nothing to do with this algorithm but I still thought
of discussing it.

Say I have scripts that dumps some contents on to an output file handler
inside a long loop. With such scripts I have noticed 2 types of behaviour.

1. The size of this output file is zero while the script is getting
executed inside the loop and it increases only when the script execution
gets over.

2. And sometimes I have noticed that the size of output file increases
every time some data is dumped on to it. Thus increase in size happens in
real/run time.

I want to control this behaviour. What I can guess is that it has something
to do with output buffer.
