I have a list of unique strings (approx, 25,00,000) of different lengths and I am trying to find if there is any string which occurs as a substring of previous strings.



  def index_containing_substring(the_list, substring):
for i, s in enumerate(the_list):
if substring in s:
return i
return -1

def string_match():
test_list=['foo bar abc xml','fdff gdnfgf gdkgf','foo bar','abc','xml','xyz']
max_len=4 # I am storing the maximum length of sentence
# the list starts with reverse order
# i.e sentence with highest length are at the top
safe_to_add=[]
for s in test_list:
if len(s)==max_len:
safe_to_add.append(s)
else:
idx=index_containing_substring(safe_to_add,s)
if idx==-1:
safe_to_add.append(s)
else:
# process the substring
print('match found {} for {}'.format(test_list[idx],s))


This method works fine but I think it is pretty slow. Is there a better way to solve this problem using a better data structure (trie or suffix tree)?



Output





match found foo bar abc xml for foo bar
match found foo bar abc xml for abc
match found foo bar abc xml for xml

    (25,00,000 looks off. It might help if you delimited the strings in the output like match found in <foo bar abc xml> for foo bar.) list starts [with] highest length Is non-increasing length a guaranteed property of the input? What if the third string was ab: would a match be shown for abc, too?
