Comparing similar but inexact text
Is there a function to compare text values that are similar but inexact
matches to evalute their similarity? For example if I compare "ALBERTSON'S" to "ALBERTSONS" the two won't match but I would like to flag them as a close match. This would be similar to when you enter a typo in a search engine and it suggests alternate spellings. |
