Re: [python-win32] Identify unique data from sequence array
1. Start with the first element (call it L) 2. Scan downwind for an matching element (call it R) 3. Compare L+1 and R+1 until you find a mismatch -- that's the current largest match. 4. Repeat from 2 to see if you can find a longer match. Actually, step 4. Repeat from 2..., can be further optimized with searching for match between preceding element of R and element shifted by R positions relative to R, then couple of routine random checks for matches in between L and R and shifted values by R positions ;) ___ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
