Dear Monks
I have situation which I can best describe as follow.
I have 2 sets A and B. Each sets contains few strings. I have to compare and find out approximately which string of set A matches with which string of set B. It's possible that some sttrings will go unmatched. Approximately means differing in letters by 1 to 3 characters. Each string length is max 10 characters. Sets A and B doesn't contain the same number of strings and number of strings in each set could go from 1 to 25. In actual case these sets are merged and it is most likely that set B string comes after set A string. But that's not true always. To give u an example, I may have patterns like 1. ABAB or 2. ABBA or 3. ABB or 4. ABABAAB. If I get the scenes like AAB or ABB it may not be very clear as which pairs are matching and that's
why I need string approximation.
Hope, I explained it properly, feel free to ask anything more.
Thanks,
Artist

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
