Binary Search 0.0.2 released

Ruby
1

Hi

A few weeks after Ruby Q. 139 I found myself needing again to do a
binary search in a big text file. So I converted the solution
submitted to OOP and released it as a rubygem.

With this gem, you create first an index of the file you need to
search and then do the searches. More info at

Bye,

Sorry but I guess the gem’s name is somewhat inadequate. This is not a
binary search library, but a text indexing and searching library which
happens to employ a binary search algorithm. So you essentially reserve
this gem name from some possible real binsearch library…

You’re right. I never stop for a second thought about the gem’s name.
Maybe I choose some cryptic name where there is no chance of
collision.

I haven’t intended to suggest a cryptic name - just something more
specific to what your gem actually does.
