  • Least-effort variable length text replacement
    Patent number: 8321785
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of processing text. A method includes providing a unit of text to a text buffer. The unit of text is divided into one or more shift blocks and one or more replacement blocks. Based on a replacement operation of replacing each replacement block with replacement text, a final position of each shift-block within the text buffer is determined. A schedule for the replacement operation is then determined based at least in part on the final position of each shift block.
