String similarity

[Snamprogetti]

Do you know any functions, packages, addons... for calculating string similarity? (such as Levenshtein distance, etc.)

[Gak]

I think you have to build these functions on your own..Using string functions available.

See this example of "Levenshtein distance"....

[F._Schubert]

See here in the LAVA CR for an implementation of the levenshtein distance.

LAVA version works. gak's VI sometimes doesn't. Compared with PHP's Levenshtein function

May be, I just gave an example as in how you can use string functions available in labview to fulfill your purpose.
