  2. Approximate string matching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approximate_string_matching

    After computing E(i, j) for all i and j, we can easily find a solution to the original problem: it is the substring for which E(m, j) is minimal (m being the length of the pattern P.) Computing E ( m , j ) is very similar to computing the edit distance between two strings.

  3. Longest common substring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest_common_substring

    In computer science, a longest common substring of two or more strings is a longest string that is a substring of all of them. There may be more than one longest common substring. Applications include data deduplication and plagiarism detection.

  4. String-searching algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String-searching_algorithm

    A string-searching algorithm, sometimes called string-matching algorithm, is an algorithm that searches a body of text for portions that match by pattern. A basic example of string searching is when the pattern and the searched text are arrays of elements of an alphabet ( finite set ) Σ.

  5. Substring index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substring_index

    In computer science, a substring index is a data structure which gives substring search in a text or text collection in sublinear time. Once constructed from a document or set of documents, a substring index can be used to locate all occurrences of a pattern in time linear or near-linear in the pattern size, with no dependence or only logarithmic dependence on the document size.

  6. Dictionary coder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dictionary_coder

    A dictionary coder, also sometimes known as a substitution coder, is a class of lossless data compression algorithms which operate by searching for matches between the text to be compressed and a set of strings contained in a data structure (called the 'dictionary') maintained by the encoder. When the encoder finds such a match, it substitutes ...

    In this example, we will consider a dictionary consisting of the following words: {a, ab, bab, bc, bca, c, caa}. The graph below is the Aho–Corasick data structure constructed from the specified dictionary, with each row in the table representing a node in the trie, with the column path indicating the (unique) sequence of characters from the root to the node.

  8. Help:Manipulating strings - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Manipulating_strings

    The simplest operation is taking a substring, a snippet of the string taken at a certain offset (called an "index") from the start or end. There are a number of legacy templates offering this but for new code use {{#invoke:String|sub|string|startIndex|endIndex}}. The indices are one-based (meaning the first is number one), inclusive (meaning ...

  9. Substring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substring

    A string is a substring (or factor) [1] of a string if there exists two strings and such that =.In particular, the empty string is a substring of every string. Example: The string = ana is equal to substrings (and subsequences) of = banana at two different offsets:
