Please don't take offense to this, but that's a pretty poor suggestion, Ben. If having someone review the changes was actually a possibility, I never would have bothered asking the question. I mentioned higher in the thread that we're talking about roughly 1 edit to a description each minute. I would have to hire a person whose only job was to review these changes, which simply isn't realistic. Since this is a technology discussion board, I'm looking for a technology solution, because its really my only option. I know that this problem has been solved as an algorithm, because the web searches I've done have indicated that. However, the only two links to the actual algorithms that I've found are both broken. Does anyone know of an algorithm to use? Preferably already in coldfusion, but I could translate it if not. Likely it would be some sort of variable-length encoding algorithm which would then compare the encoded results and rank the amount of difference. I would write it myself, but I have no idea what kind of threshholds to set, or how the ranking would go. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| ColdFusion MX7 and Flex 2 Build sales & marketing dashboard RIAâs for your business.
