Hi List,
I am trying to find how to best compare 2 strings(word by word).
I have 2 texts, one fully written and one abbreviated.
The texts have exactly the same amount of words and they are in the same
order.
So in the text field one word is highlighted.
The user has to fill in the abbreviation
Not entirely sure if i understand what you want to do, but you could use a
regular expression to strip out any punctuation or unwanted characters.
String.split() breaks a string into an array of strings by using a specified
delimiter which could be a space in this situation, so each word is
Thanks David.
I think you understood exactly what I want.
The String.split() was also what I had in mind, but I don't know how to do a
regular expression to strip out any punctuation or unwanted characters.
Do you have an example of such action?

Hi,
Something like /(\w)+)/gi or /([a-zA-Z])+/gi if you are being strict on
just having letters. You can experiment with Grant Skinners RegExr tool
- Google that cos I have no link :)

I can't publish the actual strings, because they contain military issues.
So I will have to create some fake strings.
But mainly every full text (our max is 800 characters) can be used and every
abbreviation can be 'fake', like the this:
Full:
These words are the text at its full length. I will
In the end though, aren't you really checking each answer not against
the abbreviation but against a correct answer, eg if the abbreviation
is:
sec
and the correct answer is
second
and the user writes
section
as their answer, that would be incorrect. But if you compared sec to
section, you
That is correct.
The users are offered a long text and they have to rewrite this to a
correct abbreviated text.
In the Army, we have about a million abbreviations (or acronyms?) which are
used in every written text.
Our officers have to able to read and write this without the possibility to
look
Could someone please suggest an FLV to AVI converter for Windows they have
used and liked?
It doesn't have to be free, but it must retain as much video and audio
quality of the FLV file as possible, for further processing.
Thanks,

String.replace() then a regular expression like /[,\.!\?:;\\\/]/g and replace
it with nothing: . You'll probably want to check which characters to remove
but remember to use an escape slash for certain characters. Haven't tried it
but there are some examples and lots of help in the docs and
Thanks again David.
RegExp are a bit scary for me too. :-)

I've used it a lot lately - i'm new to RegEx and this makes it a lot
less intimidating!

Seeing as you have specific abbreviations, I don't understand why Regular
Expressions are entering into this.
You should have the abbreviations and their actual words stored in a
database (maybe an XML doc somewhere), then just compare each one, one a
word to abbreviation basis.
Regular
Yeah that was my question, albeit expressed in a much more convoluted
way. In the end its just a right/wrong quiz.

i think the regular expression is to strip out unwanted characters like
punctuation. comparing strings would be done by another process.
