I would hope the log was larger than the 32365 characters I posted. Those values attribute to the "Parsed IRC Log" should have been the matched count, or at least I would hope they are. It has been a while since I conducted the test, and it was just some geeky humor, it does not really hold any mathematical merit. I cannot say with 100% certainty that the values I concluded with were accurate. -Matt (enferex) No worries my friend. I would hope the log was larger than the 32365 characters I posted.

(log gathering only when I was logged in). I had assumed that the IRC Log was originally 32365, I suppose that is the number of characters matched with the Hamlet file instead. That number is the only thing that is causing me trouble. Parsed IRC Log: 32365 characters from January 11, 2008 till April 5, 2008. (log gathering only when I was logged in).

The first time that same character was found in the IRC log, a match was considered successful, and the iterative process was continued with the next Hamlet character and continuing in the log, where we had previously left off. This process iterated until either the log ran out or Hamlet. To be successful we would need to collect much more information from the channel. I did not clarify this properly. So I only assume, without double checking, that the IRC log was well exhausted before Hamlet. -Matt (enferex) IRCC, Hamlet was parsed one character at a time.

Doesn't that mean there was a 1:1 correlation of characters entered to characters matched? That is, your log file could have only gotten through 19.657803% of Hamlet text.
