I needed to find a String in a text file, so I wrote(rather hacked) a scheme imlementation of the boyer moore string search algoritm.
This is just a hack. But it is commented. What do you think?
(I decided to use this blog also as my cut-paste-source from now on.)
Some utility definitions are missing from the above code, these are:
The above code might be complete bullsh*t, I dont know I just hacked it down while reading the wikipedia article of the algorithm. I didn't bother to lookup a reference implementation...
Also it was like 4:00 am when I hacked it...(apologies accepted?)
