I have a column of words, for example
"DOG"
"DOOG"
"GOD"
"GOOD"
"DOOR"
...
and I am interested in creating a matrix that contains the string
edit distances between each pair of words. I am this close -> ' '
<- to writing the algorithm myself (which will allow for different
variations on the string edit rules, indels, plus or minus
transpositions, and possibly some variations on that), but I figured
I'd see if anyone on the list has any experience with this and might
already have some shoulders for me to stand on.
Thanks,
Thomas
