Abstract
In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes receiving a regular expression (regex) and input data. One or more spans are identified representing one or more matches in which the regex matches at least a portion of the input data. Each span corresponds to a corresponding match and includes a start offset of the corresponding match in the input data and an end offset of the corresponding match in the input data. The one or more matches are identified in a sequence. An order of the sequence of the one or more spans is modified. One or more filtered spans are generated, by a computer processor, by filtering out a subset of the one or more spans that are each contained by at least one other span in the one or more spans. The identifying, the modifying, and the filtering are performed at streaming rate.
