Re: Fuzzy string matching
Hi Eric. I have an application (iOS) that is doing speech to text. The resulting string I'd like to fuzzy match against the user's onboard music library, and play a song, album, genre, etc. as appropriate. I am looking for a really good fuzzy string matching engine. I found this: http://www.locayta.com/, not sure it's something I could use or not. Also I found this code (but it's not quote accurate enough for reliable results): Any better ideas for a better fuzzy string match? For me, the Levenshtein distance method has always worked fine. You can even offer an UI element (I'd suggest a slider) to let the user define a looser or tighter distance for better results. ---Ulf Dunkel ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Re: Fuzzy string matching
Thanks for the reply, I've now found this: http://www.merriampark.com/ldobjc.htm Will try this out and see how it goes. It's close to something I already had which I didn't think worked that great, but will try anyway. Eric On Wed, Jun 29, 2011 at 9:19 AM, Ulf Dunkel dun...@calamus.net wrote: Hi Eric.

RE: Fuzzy string matching
Just out of curiosity... Why not use extended regular expressions? Or am I missing something?

Thanks - I'm not sure that's going to be flexible enough for me or not, but I'll give it a go. Thanks again!
