The problem is the following:
I have two big databases one look like this:
2-Methyl-4-trimethylsilyloxyoct-5-yne Benzoic acid, methyl ester Benzoic
acid, 2-methyl-, methyl ester Acetic acid, phenylmethyl ester
2,7-Dimethyl-4-trimethylsilyloxyoct-7-en-5-yne etc.
The second one looks like this:
Name: D-Tagatose 1,6-bisphosphate Name: 1-Phosphatidyl-D-myo-inositol;:
1-Phosphatidyl-1D-myo-inositol;: 1-Phosphatidyl-myo-inositol;:
Phosphatidyl-1D-myo-inositol;: (3-Phosphatidyl)-1-D-inositol;:
1,2-Diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoinositol;: Phosphatidylinositol Name:
Androstenedione;: Androst-4-ene-3,17-dione;: 4-Androstene-3,17-dione Name:
Spermine;: N,N'-Bis(3-aminopropyl)-1,4-butanediamine Name: H+;: Hydron Name:
3-Iodo-L-tyrosine etc.
Both of them have more then 3000 lines. Matching their name by hand is not
an option because I don't know chemistry.
*Possible solution I came up with*:
Go through all the names of the first database and then try to match with
the other one. I'm using *regexec *and *strsplit *functions for the
matching. Basically I split the name into small chunks and try to get some
hit in the other database.
I can supply code If needed but I did not want to spam in the first mail.
Any solution is welcome! It can be in pseudo-cod also or in any type of
logical arguing. It does not matter.
