No problem Daniel. Please let us forget about it. Tomorrow will be shiny here.

By the way, I am preparing 2 scripts doing the job. They are totally different.

But they both will be able to make it.

One is based on a simple text file, the second one with a DB (sqlite). I did not find a better

way to do the job. I must admit that I only focus on the DB method, I really cannot get the

file method to be efficient... This is why we want to discuss... I am sure more brains will give

us different methods.

As you did not like my question, I wonder if pure algo is something acceptable?

Like:

Let say we have a 10,000 array of 0 and 1. You want to find the longest series of "1" (and its

position). One pass only. We don't care language here, just algorithm.

But we go outside Linux scope. As I love both subjects, anyone will be fine for me :)
