Commentz-Walter algorithm
--109.60.76.183 (talk) 10:14, 23 January 2013 (UTC)v-.b.v,v >-[1]s In computer science, the Commentz-Walter algorithm is a string searching algorithm invented by Beate Commentz-Walter. Like the Aho–Corasick string matching algorithm, it can search for multiple patterns at once. It combines ideas from Aho–Corasick with the fast matching of the Boyer–Moore string search algorithm. For a text of length n and maximum pattern length of L,

GNU grep implements a string matching algorithm very similar to Commentz-Walter.[3]
