[Numpy-discussion] searching binary data
Wed Sep 22 09:10:06 CDT 2010
A colleague of mine posed the following problem. He wants to search large
files of binary data for sequences.
I thought of using mmap (to avoid reading all data into memory at once) and
then turning this into a numpy array (using buffer=).
But, how to then efficiently find a sequence?
Note that I'm not committed to using numpy or mmap as part of the solution.
