Abstract
A method for compressing a target string of symbols includes identifying a set of reference strings stored by a computer, and matching a plurality of successive substrings in the target string to respective segments found in one or more of the reference strings. Respective segment specifiers are assigned to the substrings that identify the respective segments to which they are matched, and an ordered list of the specifiers is output.
