Java implementation for longest common substring o

问题:

I need to find the longest common substring of n strings and use the result in my project.

Is there any existing implementation/library in java which already does this?

Thanks for your replies in advance.

We can use below code to identify longest common sub string of n Strings

public static String identifyCommonSubStrOfNStr(String [] strArr){

    String commonStr="";
    String smallStr ="";        

    //identify smallest String      
    for (String s :strArr) {
        if(smallStr.length()< s.length()){
            smallStr=s;
        }
    }

    String tempCom="";
    char [] smallStrChars=smallStr.toCharArray();               
    for (char c: smallStrChars){
        tempCom+= c;

        for (String s :strArr){
            if(!s.contains(tempCom)){
                tempCom=c;
                for (String s :strAarr){
                    if(!s.contains(tempCom)){
                        tempCom="";
                        break;
                    }
                }
                break;
            }               
        }

        if(tempCom!="" && tempCom.length()>commonStr.length()){
            commonStr=tempCom;  
        }                       
    }   

    return commonStr;
}

What about concurrent-trees ?

It is a small (~100 KB) library available in Maven Central. The algorithm uses combination of Radix and Suffix Trees. Which is known to have a linear time complexity (wikipedia).

public static String getLongestCommonSubstring(Collection<String> strings) {
    LCSubstringSolver solver = new LCSubstringSolver(new DefaultCharSequenceNodeFactory());
    for (String s: strings) {
        solver.add(s);
    }
    return solver.getLongestCommonSubstring().toString();
}

This page pretty much gives exactly what you want in quite a few languages.

public static int longestSubstr(String first, String second) {
    if (first == null || second == null || first.length() == 0 || second.length() == 0) {
        return 0;
    }

    int maxLen = 0;
    int fl = first.length();
    int sl = second.length();
    int[][] table = new int[fl][sl];

    for (int i = 0; i < fl; i++) {
        for (int j = 0; j < sl; j++) {
            if (first.charAt(i) == second.charAt(j)) {
                if (i == 0 || j == 0) {
                    table[i][j] = 1;
                }
                else {
                    table[i][j] = table[i - 1][j - 1] + 1;
                }
                if (table[i][j] > maxLen) {
                    maxLen = table[i][j];
                }
            }
        }
    }
    return maxLen;
}

Well you could try to extend the version of wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest_common_substring_problem) for n Strings by putting it into a loop which iterates over all your Strings.
