Abstract

In one embodiment, a computing device may compress a text file for storage by dynamically creating an encoding table. A storage device of the computing device may store an encoding table populated by string characters from a text file. A processor of the computing device may encode the text file by replacing a string character in a text string of the text file with a table index position of that string character in the encoding table. The processor of the computing device may decode the text file by replacing the table index position with the string character at the table index position in the encoding table.
