Abstract

A method and apparatus for compressing a reference pattern (RP) with repeated substrings by encoding produce compressed reference patterns (CRPs) with reduce storage requirements. Operation codes and a flag are stored with the CRPs. During comparison of reference elements of the CRP to input elements (IEs) of an input pattern (IP), the operation codes are read and the reference pattern is decoded allowing all reference elements including those of the repeated substrings to be compared to IEs in the IP to determine if the RP appears within the IP.
