如何找到一个很长的字符串的所有唯一子串?

我有一个很长的字符串。我想找到这个字符串的所有唯一子串。我尝试编写代码,我使用 set (python)存储所有子字符串以确保唯一性。我得到了许多中大字符串的正确结果,但是如果字符串很大,我会得到一个MemoryError。我google了一下,发现python中的 set 数据结构有一个很大的RAM占用空间,这也许就是我得到MemoryError的原因。

这是我的代码:

a = set()
for i in range(n):
    string = raw_input()
    j = 1
    while True:
        for i in xrange(len(string)-j+1):   
            a.add(string[i:i+j])
        if j==len(string):   break
        j+=1
print sorted(list(a))

有没有办法避免大字符串的这个错误?或者任何人都可以在我的代码中建议更好的修改来处理这个问题?

P.S:我没有选择在32位和64位版本之间转换。

如果你真的需要它在内存中,那么你可以尝试制作一个后缀树。尝试不是外来数据结构,因此可能有很好的实现可用于主流语言,如Python,它们可用于实现后缀树。 Marisa-Trie应该可以获得良好的内存使用率。

  1. 创建一个空的trie。
  2. 对于[0,len(s)]中的每个n,将长度为n的后缀添加到Trie。
  3. 来自trie根的每条路径都是字符串中的子字符串,没有这样的路径不是字符串中的子字符串,路径是唯一的。

这是一些基于O(n)后缀树结构的Python代码,用于从输入字符串集合中生成唯一的子字符串(输出应按排序顺序显示,因此之后无需对字符串进行排序)。 / p>

由于可能有O(n ^ 2)个输出字符串,实际输出所有字符串可能需要很长时间。
