    rfind(string,substring) returns integer Description Returns the position of the start of the last occurrence of substring in string. If the substring is not found most of these routines return an invalid index value – -1 where indexes are 0-based, 0 where they are 1-based – or some value to be interpreted as Boolean FALSE.

  3. Gestalt pattern matching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gestalt_Pattern_Matching

    The similarity of two strings and is determined by this formula: twice the number of matching characters divided by the total number of characters of both strings. The matching characters are defined as some longest common substring [3] plus recursively the number of matching characters in the non-matching regions on both sides of the longest common substring: [2] [4]

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. Pattern matching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pattern_matching

    The constructor is a node in a tree and the integer and string are leaves in branches. When we want to write functions to make Color an abstract data type, we wish to write functions to interface with the data type, and thus we want to extract some data from the data type, for example, just the string or just the integer part of Color.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression

    Regex support is part of the standard library of many programming languages, including Java and Python, and is built into the syntax of others, including Perl and ECMAScript. In the late 2010s, several companies started to offer hardware, FPGA , [ 21 ] GPU [ 22 ] implementations of PCRE compatible regex engines that are faster compared to CPU ...

  8. 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:

  9. Rabin–Karp algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabin–Karp_algorithm

    The hash function described here is not a Rabin fingerprint, but it works equally well. It treats every substring as a number in some base, the base being usually the size of the character set. For example, if the substring is "hi", the base is 256, and prime modulus is 101, then the hash value would be
