No, thank you: I need find the longest substring shared by two strings, given that the substring is -- unfortunately -- not known in advance.
I want to group files according to similarity in their names: the substring is not known in advance, it has to be computed for each pair of files... For instance:
"abcd" and "zaxbcybcdw" share "a", "bc", and "bcd"
the latter being the longest -- and, incidentally, the last to be found...
My goal is to fan out a few thousand files into folders, so the number of files per folder will be under 512 -- I have the feeling Finder tends to react very slowly when it has to deal with folders bigger than 500 items.
I'm not sure about the exact number, but I guess it changes behaviors around this threshold.
