Hi list,
Does anyone have (or know of) an algorithm to find repeating
patterns of characters in a string ?
I'm not sure Transcript (er... Revolution) is fast enough for
that kind of task, but anyway I thought it was worth asking...
Thanks,
JB

well, I just realized that my question isn't very clear...
I DON'T WANT to find how many times pattern "ta" appears
in string "tatata" (for instance)...
What I want to find is : is there any repeating pattern of chars
in any string, which are they and (that's easy) how many times
each pattern app

This brute-force method came to my mind. Decide on a min and max
length of patterns. Try all possible substrings. (Outer loop is
start position, inn
Dar,
I came up to something similar... Here's a (very raw and quite slow) first
approach
(it checks only groups of 6 to 20 chars) :
on mouseUp
set cursor to watch
lock screen
put fld 1 into myST
put "" into myL
set the casesensitive to true
repeat with k=1 to 1000
repeat with i
for those interested, here's something much faster :
on mouseUp
set cursor to watch
lock screen
put fld 1 into myST
put number of chars of myST into n
put "" into myL
set the casesensitive to true
put 1 into k
repeat while k<=1000
repeat with i=100 down to 6
put k+i-1 int
All,

This started out as a mental exercise for moi, and the mouseUp logic
is untested:
on mouseUp
put field 1 into sourceString
put empty into patternList
put 6 into minPatternLength -- o
Here's my version:
function getRepeatingPatterns tString,minLength,maxLength
set the caseSensitive to true
repeat with n = minLength to maxLength
put empty into testString
put 0 into charCount
repeat for each char c in tString
put c after testString
get length(testSt

OTOH, working on it led me to the following offsets function, which
has been tested.
function offsets targetString, sourceStrin
