About

This is a learning exercise for me. This is an experimental lossless compression algorithm for text-based files. Compression is done by creating a map / dictionary and replacing the main text accordingly.

How to use

Call the file with python3 from console.

python3 g_ex_comp.py

Available parameters:

• c - compression mode; following parameter must be the file to compress; compression type must be specified (n, f, ff)
• d - decompression mode; following parameter must be the file to decompress
• o - output file; following parameter must be the file to write
• n - normal compression mode; fullstring compression
• f - fast compression mode; word-phrase based compression
• ff - very fast compression mode; single-word based compression
• q - quiet; suppress informative output
