Amatch is a library for approximate string matching and searching in strings. Several algorithms can be used to do this, and it's also possible to compute a similarity metric number between 0.0 and 1.0 for two given strings. This is a workaround version to support Rubinius installation.

amatch - Approximate Matching Extension for Ruby

Description

This is a collection of classes that can be used for Approximate matching, searching, and comparing of Strings. They implement algorithms that compute the Levenshtein edit distance, Sellers edit distance, the Hamming distance, the longest common subsequence length, the longest common substring length, the pair distance metric, the Jaro-Winkler metric.

Installation

To install this extension as a gem type

gem install amatch

into the shell.
