Approximate matching - fuzzy search

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 75

Is there a way to do a fuzzy search? also known as approximate matching? Most times when comparing  strings we do not need, neither want, exact character for character match.

Is there any way to achieve that in PAD?

    @Lipsitz you can allways code it in Python and call the script from PAD... Not ideal, but PAD at the moment does not have that many special functions

    You can basically do everything in Python...

    But I don't think this should be considered special in 2021.
