Thanks alot Buddy, And yea I will try to convert it in mmap.. Ur code helped alot. But I have few doubts 1. What is the use of overlap. 2. Ur code does not end..Like it does break even after searching through the entire file. Bdw, I modified your code.. import os import re filename="E:/bitdefender/test.vmem" read_data=2**24 offset=0 chunk_start=0 searchtext=b"bd:mongo:" search_length=len(searchtext) overlap_length = search_length - 1 he=searchtext.encode('hex') with open(filename, 'rb') as f: while True: data= f.read(read_data) if not data: break while True: offset=data.find(searchtext,offset) # print offset if offset < 0: break print "Found at",hex(chunk_start+offset) offset+=search_length chunk_start += len(data) data=data[read_data:] offset=0 -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
