Title: Calculate difference between strings, Levenshtein Distance
Post by: elusiven on March 23, 2017, 06:38:42 AM

Hi there,

I needed this for my app, so I made a quick action if anyone needs it.

It calculates the error margin between two strings, and gives  you the result in an int. Optionally you can setup an int to compare with and send events.

Hi,

 Cool! I would give an everyframe option, just to give flexibility to the action usage.

 Also, It would be great you put these actions on the Ecosystem, it will be easier for developers to get it and install it in their projects. Let me know if you are up for this, I can help set yourself up to do this.

Else, I can put it up if you don't mind.

Bye,

 Jean
