>>Hi All

>>i was wondering, does anyone know where one could get a utility that compares two strings (a+b) and returns a percentage match
>>
>>Eg A = "JOE BLOGGS HOUSE"
>> B = "My Friend Joe Bloggs Lives In a huge House Down the Road"
>>
>>The utility would return a percentage figure of a match say 80% as it found "Joe Bloggs" and "House" in the sentence

>>Thanks

>Interesting... You would be looking for the percentage of matching words, right? I know that Nadya has a word parser as part of a larger process she has posted. I'll look in my libraries and see if I can find it. With that you could use something like AT to determine the matches in the strings. I might be slow though depending on the volume of what you're doing. There also may be an easier way...

Renoir,
I think you would usually want to use alines() for parsing.
