The fuzzy string matching concept provide a powerful way for comparing strings.
This code provide a simple implementation of the fuzzy string matching technique.
The function "fuzzymatch" included in this program perform a fuzzy comparaison
(fault tolerant comparaison) of two strings,the returned value is a percentage
that tells how closed are the strings that have been compared.
Fuzzy strings comparaison can be useful in many applications.
One of them is a string matching algorythm for a Chatbot.
Also,the "fuzzymatch" algorythm implemented in this code is very quick and
precise as well.If you like this code,please vote for it or you can just
let me know what do you think of it.

Hi Gonzales,
Thanks for the response. It does not have to be access it can be a flat file with two columns. I was just wondering if I can use this program to compare two tables or columns.

Hi. This a very useful code. Nice work!
Do you know of any website or book that explains the fuzzy match algorithm you are using?

Many, many thanks, Mr. Gonzales. I was able to put your code to great use today. I converted the source to Access 2003 VBA, and it's indeed very fast: it handled 16.5K comparisons of 2 20-character strings in less than 2 seconds on a Dell Lat. D620 (T7400 Core2 @ 2.16 GHz)!
