Subject: Stream-based Scanning of File-Buffers
Date: Fri, 25 Sep 2009 05:12:55 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5f0abd5c-159d-4d59-bd13-62eb178c7633@g6g2000vbr.googlegroups.com> (raw)

Is there a way to perform string/regexp scanning (using search-forward
or re-search-forward) in a file-buffer whose contents is loaded only
when it's needed, kind of like file streams in C, so that I only do a
physical read on the blocks that I actually scan and then skip the
rest of the file as soon as I get a hit.

Thanks in advance,
Nordlöw
