Boyer-Moore-MagicLen

This crate can be used to search substrings in a string or search any sub-sequences in any sequence by using boyer-moore-magiclen (which is sometimes faster than boyer-moore and boyer-moore-horspool).

Usage

For binary data and UTF-8 data, use the BMByte struct. For character sequences, use the BMCharacter struct (however it is much slower than BMByte). The BMCharacter struct needs the standard library support, and you have to enable the character feature to make it available.

Every BMXXX has a from associated function to create the instance by a search pattern (the needle).

For example,

extern crate boyer_moore_magiclen;

use boyer_moore_magiclen::BMByte;

let bmb = BMByte::from("oocoo").unwrap();

Now, we can search any binary data or UTF-8 data for the pattern oocoo.

There are two search modes and two search directions. The first mode is called full text search, which finds the positions of the matched sub-sequences including the overlapping ones.

extern crate boyer_moore_magiclen;

use boyer_moore_magiclen::BMByte;

let bmb = BMByte::from("oocoo").unwrap();

assert_eq!(vec![1, 4], bmb.find_full_in("coocoocoocoo", 2));

The other mode is called normal text search, which finds the positions of the matched sub-sequences excluding the overlapping ones.

extern crate boyer_moore_magiclen;

use boyer_moore_magiclen::BMByte;

let bmb = BMByte::from("oocoo").unwrap();

assert_eq!(vec![1, 7], bmb.find_in("coocoocoocoo", 2));

The search direction can be from the head (searching forward, find_xxx) or from the tail (searching backward, rfind_xxx).

extern crate boyer_moore_magiclen;

use boyer_moore_magiclen::BMByte;

let bmb = BMByte::from("oocoo").unwrap();

assert_eq!(vec![7, 1], bmb.rfind_in("coocoocoocoo", 2));

To search all results at a time, use the find_all_in, rfind_all_in, find_full_all_in or rfind_full_all_in method.

extern crate boyer_moore_magiclen;

use boyer_moore_magiclen::BMByte;

let bmb = BMByte::from("oocoo").unwrap();

assert_eq!(vec![7, 4, 1], bmb.rfind_full_all_in("coocoocoocoo"));
