Kym,
The math on that wouldn't work. As if Steve is looking for a 98% static vs
2% change score, it could throw out irregular results around that. As that
algorithium is more for repeated word search patterns then actual difference
in word adjustment / composition.
Steve, As I see it you're looking for the boolean statement, "did they
change yes/no" vs time stamp, as if they are changing Yours to You'rs then
in turn this meant 1 character change. Isnt this a case of
if( OldTotalNumWords != NewTotalNumbWords) { do logic here}.
If you however want to display a percentage then what qualifies as a needle
mover? in my case "Yours to You'rs" how do you weight this accordingly? is
that a character divided by word count + or - delta?
This is actually an interesting question :) well done Steve :0
