  2. Regular expression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression

    A very simple case of a regular expression in this syntax is to locate a word spelled two different ways in a text editor, the regular expression seriali[sz]e matches both "serialise" and "serialize". Wildcard characters also achieve this, but are more limited in what they can pattern, as they have fewer metacharacters and a simple language-base.

  4. Longest common substring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest_common_substring

    The longest common substrings of a set of strings can be found by building a generalized suffix tree for the strings, and then finding the deepest internal nodes which have leaf nodes from all the strings in the subtree below it. The figure on the right is the suffix tree for the strings "ABAB", "BABA" and "ABBA", padded with unique string ...

  5. Matching wildcards - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matching_wildcards

    In computer science, an algorithm for matching wildcards (also known as globbing) is useful in comparing text strings that may contain wildcard syntax. [1] Common uses of these algorithms include command-line interfaces, e.g. the Bourne shell [2] or Microsoft Windows command-line [3] or text editor or file manager, as well as the interfaces for some search engines [4] and databases. [5]

  6. Pattern matching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pattern_matching

    In many programming languages, a particular syntax of strings is used to represent regular expressions, which are patterns describing string characters. However, it is possible to perform some string pattern matching within the same framework that has been discussed throughout this article.

  7. Approximate string matching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approximate_string_matching

    The closeness of a match is measured in terms of the number of primitive operations necessary to convert the string into an exact match. This number is called the edit distance between the string and the pattern. The usual primitive operations are: [1] insertion: cot → coat; deletion: coat → cot

  8. Aho–Corasick algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aho–Corasick_algorithm

    The complexity of the algorithm is linear in the length of the strings plus the length of the searched text plus the number of output matches. Note that because all matches are found, multiple matches will be returned for one string location if multiple substrings matched (e.g. dictionary = a, aa, aaa, aaaa and input string is aaaa).

  9. Rabin–Karp algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabin–Karp_algorithm

    To find a single match of a single pattern, the expected time of the algorithm is linear in the combined length of the pattern and text, although its worst-case time complexity is the product of the two lengths. To find multiple matches, the expected time is linear in the input lengths, plus the combined length of all the matches, which could ...
