Searching a binary file

[luthi at vaw.baug.ethz.NOSPAM.ch]

Thank you for your reply. This is obvious, but it won't work on large files
(exceeding memory). This is why I read the file in chunks and searched these
chunks. How should I choose the size of these chunks?

Is there a speed issue using string.find() or the regular expression search()?
