Part of our database includes legal clauses that our title companies use on commitments and policies and such. As we convert new companies over to our new system we are constantly asked to import hundreds of new clauses into the database. The problem is, most of the clauses are ALMOST identical to existing clauses and can be weeded out. Usually there are just slight verbiage differences. The only way for me to do that now is to print them all out, place them side by side and visually find the similarities. Is there an easy way to programmatically match each new clause (just a text field) to the existing ones and get back an instant list of close matches. It would be great to even have a percentage of closeness or something.
I know code like this can be written because of programs like Araxis Merge. Ideas? This would save me hours of work, but I'm not sure where to start. ~Brad ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 The most significant release in over 10 years.
