Benedikt Ritter commented on LANG-944:
--------------------------------------
Hi Rekha,
sorry, I'm not expert in String algorithms. Is SimilarityMatch a known
algorithm? What are the use cases you're talking about? Does it really fit in a
general purpose library like lang?
If you upload a patch, please don't forget to include some unit tests ;-)
Regards,
Benedikt
> Add a feature of SimilarityMatch in StringUtils
> ------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: LANG-944
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-944
> Project: Commons Lang
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: lang.*
> Affects Versions: 3.3
> Reporter: Rekha Joshi
> Fix For: Patch Needed, Discussion
>
>
> Add SimilarityMatch algorithm to evaluate a similarity matching ratio between
> two strings.
> double matchscore = StringUtils.calculateSimilarityMatching(String s1, String
> s2)
> I have a patch ready with implementation of similaritymatch.
> This happens to be a usual need in science algorithm and directly using
> commons lang3 library for these string operation would be neat.
