Package 'stringdist'
Title: |
Approximate String Matching, Fuzzy Text Search, and String
Distance Functions |
Description: |
Implements an approximate string matching version of R's
native 'match' function. Also offers fuzzy text search based on
various string distance measures. Can calculate various string
distances based on edits (Damerau-Levenshtein, Hamming,
Levenshtein, optimal sting alignment), qgrams (q- gram, cosine,
jaccard distance) or heuristic metrics (Jaro, Jaro-Winkler). An
implementation of soundex is provided as well. Distances can be
computed between character vectors while taking proper care of
encoding or between integer vectors representing generic
sequences. This package is built for speed and runs in parallel
by using 'openMP'. An API for C or C++ is exposed as well.
