    contains(string,substring) returns boolean Description Returns whether string contains substring as a substring. This is equivalent to using Find and then detecting that it does not result in the failure condition listed in the third column of the Find section. However, some languages have a simpler way of expressing this test.

    A fuzzy Mediawiki search for "angry emoticon" has as a suggested result "andré emotions" In computer science, approximate string matching (often colloquially referred to as fuzzy string searching) is the technique of finding strings that match a pattern approximately (rather than exactly).

  4. Substring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substring

    string" is a substring of "substring" In formal language theory and computer science, a substring is a contiguous sequence of characters within a string. [citation needed] For instance, "the best of" is a substring of "It was the best of times". In contrast, "Itwastimes" is a subsequence of "It was the best of times", but not a substring.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest_common_substring

    One can find the lengths and starting positions of the longest common substrings of and in (+) time with the help of a generalized suffix tree.A faster algorithm can be achieved in the word RAM model of computation if the size of the input alphabet is in (⁡ (+)).

    He borrowed the compiler and decompiler from the Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet, but unlike the spreadsheet language Formula Language was designed primarily for string and list processing, not numerical processing. It was originally a Functional programming language with unique text list-handling features inspired by Ray Ozzie's prior use of Icon and ...

  7. Longest repeated substring problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest_repeated_substring...

    In computer science, the longest repeated substring problem is the problem of finding the longest substring of a string that occurs at least twice. This problem can be solved in linear time and space Θ ( n ) {\displaystyle \Theta (n)} by building a suffix tree for the string (with a special end-of-string symbol like '$' appended), and finding ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knuth–Morris–Pratt...

    In computer science, the Knuth–Morris–Pratt algorithm (or KMP algorithm) is a string-searching algorithm that searches for occurrences of a "word" W within a main "text string" S by employing the observation that when a mismatch occurs, the word itself embodies sufficient information to determine where the next match could begin, thus bypassing re-examination of previously matched characters.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Text_box

    A text box also called an input box, text field or text entry box, is a control element of a graphical user interface, that should enable the user to input text information to be used by a program. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Human Interface Guidelines recommend a single-line text box when only one line of input is required, and a multi-line text box only if ...
