org.eclipse.jetty.util.SearchPattern

public class SearchPattern
extends java.lang.Object

SearchPattern Fast search for patterns within strings and arrays of bytes. Uses an implementation of the Boyer–Moore–Horspool algorithm with a 256 character alphabet. The algorithm has an average-case complexity of O(n) on random text and O(nm) in the worst case. where: m = pattern length n = length of data to search

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
static SearchPattern	compile(byte[] pattern)	Produces a SearchPattern instance which can be used to find matches of the pattern in data
static SearchPattern	compile(java.lang.String pattern)	Produces a SearchPattern instance which can be used to find matches of the pattern in data
int	endsWith(byte[] data, int offset, int length)	Search for a partial match of the pattern at the end of the data.
int	getLength()
int	match(byte[] data, int offset, int length)	Search for a complete match of the pattern within the data
int	startsWith(byte[] data, int offset, int length, int matched)	Search for a possibly partial match of the pattern at the start of the data.

Method Detail

compile

public static SearchPattern compile(byte[] pattern)

Produces a SearchPattern instance which can be used to find matches of the pattern in data

Parameters:

pattern - byte array containing the pattern

Returns:

a new SearchPattern instance using the given pattern

compile

public static SearchPattern compile(java.lang.String pattern)

Produces a SearchPattern instance which can be used to find matches of the pattern in data

Parameters:

pattern - string containing the pattern

Returns:

a new SearchPattern instance using the given pattern

match

public int match(byte[] data,
                 int offset,
                 int length)

Search for a complete match of the pattern within the data

Parameters:

data - The data in which to search for. The data may be arbitrary binary data, but the pattern will always be StandardCharsets.US_ASCII encoded.

offset - The offset within the data to start the search

length - The length of the data to search

Returns:

The index within the data array at which the first instance of the pattern or -1 if not found

endsWith

public int endsWith(byte[] data,
                    int offset,
                    int length)

Search for a partial match of the pattern at the end of the data.

Parameters:

data - The data in which to search for. The data may be arbitrary binary data, but the pattern will always be StandardCharsets.US_ASCII encoded.

offset - The offset within the data to start the search

length - The length of the data to search

Returns:

the length of the partial pattern matched and 0 for no match.

startsWith

public int startsWith(byte[] data,
                      int offset,
                      int length,
                      int matched)

Search for a possibly partial match of the pattern at the start of the data.

Parameters:

data - The data in which to search for. The data may be arbitrary binary data, but the pattern will always be StandardCharsets.US_ASCII encoded.

offset - The offset within the data to start the search

length - The length of the data to search

matched - The length of the partial pattern already matched

Returns:

the length of the partial pattern matched and 0 for no match.

getLength

public int getLength()

Returns:

The length of the pattern in bytes.
