⚠️There's a newer version (0.9.15) of this package.Take me there.

stringdist (version 0.8.1)

Approximate string matching and string distance functions.

Description

Implements an approximate string matching version of R's native 'match' function. 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.
