in thread Regexp matching on a multiline file: dealing with line breaks

Yes, by all means, if you can identify sections or chunks where you can be sure that there cannot be an overlapping match on the chunk boundary, then you don't even need a sliding window: just load and process one chunk after another just the same way you've been told before for the whole file, it is even simpler than a sliding window.
