This library implements such algorithms as:
- Brute-force (also known as naïve algorithm)
- Boyer-Moore
- Rabin-Karp
- Knuth-Morris-Pratt
It also offers a portable version of the RE regular expression engine developed by Jeffrey Massung. The RE engine is a small, lightweight, and quick, regular expression library. It is a non-recursive, backtracking VM. The syntax is similar to Lua-style pattern matching, but has added support for additional regex features (e.g. a|b, (?..), etc). It's certainly not the fastest, but is easy to understand and extend.
