Description
===========
streamsearch is a module for [node.js](http://nodejs.org/) that allows searching a stream using the Boyer-Moore-Horspool algorithm.
This module is based heavily on the Streaming Boyer-Moore-Horspool C++ implementation by Hongli Lai [here](https://github.com/FooBarWidget/boyer-moore-horspool).
Requirements
============
* [node.js](http://nodejs.org/) -- v0.8.0 or newer
Installation
============
npm install streamsearch
Example
=======
```javascript
var StreamSearch = require('streamsearch'),
inspect = require('util').inspect;
var needle = new Buffer([13, 10]), // CRLF
s = new StreamSearch(needle),
chunks = [
new Buffer('foo'),
new Buffer(' bar'),
new Buffer('\r'),
new Buffer('\n'),
new Buffer('baz, hello\r'),
new Buffer('\n world.'),
new Buffer('\r\n Node.JS rules!!\r\n\r\n')
];
s.on('info', function(isMatch, data, start, end) {
if (data)
console.log('data: ' + inspect(data.toString('ascii', start, end)));
if (isMatch)
console.log('match!');
});
for (var i = 0, len = chunks.length; i < len; ++i)
s.push(chunks[i]);
// output:
//
// data: 'foo'
// data: ' bar'
// match!
// data: 'baz, hello'
// match!
// data: ' world.'
// match!
// data: ' Node.JS rules!!'
// match!
// data: ''
// match!
```
API
===
Events
------
* **info**(< _boolean_ >isMatch[, < _Buffer_ >chunk, < _integer_ >start, < _integer_ >end]) - A match _may_ or _may not_ have been made. In either case, a preceding `chunk` of data _may_ be available that did not match the needle. Data (if available) is in `chunk` between `start` (inclusive) and `end` (exclusive).
Properties
----------
* **maxMatches** - < _integer_ > - The maximum number of matches. Defaults to Infinity.
* **matches** - < _integer_ > - The current match count.
Functions
---------
* **(constructor)**(< _mixed_ >needle) - Creates and returns a new instance for searching for a _Buffer_ or _string_ `needle`.
* **push**(< _Buffer_ >chunk) - _integer_ - Processes `chunk`. The return value is the last processed index in `chunk` + 1.
* **reset**() - _(void)_ - Resets internal state. Useful for when you wish to start searching a new/different stream for example.
