I am trying to find how to best compare 2 strings(word by word).
I have 2 texts, one fully written and one abbreviated.

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

I think you understood exactly what I want

String.replace() then a regular expression like /[,\.!\?:;\\\/]/g and
