Approximate Match To String Based On Input File

AndrzejFidos — Fri, 26 Jun 2020 09:53:00 GMT

Hi!

I am looking for a way to find an approximate match for a string in a dropdown menu based on input that can be incorrect to some extent.
F. ex. "Phone Number Type" as a String with Input as "phone nmber type". Can anyone share ideas on how to do that?

Regards,
Andrzej

You'd have to implement your own fuzzy match code, maybe something like a Levenshtein distance algorithm.
