Description
As a response to a request by HelmutWe I searched and found an algorithm that seemed to match the request, and folded that into a C#/WinForms application.
After adding a few similar but different algorithms, also found on the internet, and re-shaping the UI a bit to handle larger texts and a results grid, the current incarnation is now available.

Used algorithms and sources:
AlgorithmSourceJaro-WinklerRonnie Overby's Jaro-WinklerDamerau-LevenshteinWicked Shimmy's Damerau LevenshteinF23 Sorensen-dice coefficientFeature 23's StringSimilarity.NET libraryF23 Cosine similarity(see above)F23 Jaccard index(see above)F23 Normalized Levenshtein(see above)
Features
Compare 2 strings/texts and calculate their similarity.

Planned Features
Allow to select 2 files and determine their similarity

Requested features
Make available as separate dll for use from other tools (undecided yet)

very nice  :up:

KodeZwerg:
I love such stuff, cool project!
Thankyou for wrapping it up so far!

Is a export things to dll planned? ...for programmers reachable by Api with functions you let us use...

Ath:
StringSimilarity has been updated to 1.3.0, adding the ability to load text from txt files (*.txt or *.*), no file-content check!

Also, the download has been moved to my DCMembers space, link available from the first post, above.

Haven't decided on this request yet, as it's quite a bit of work for such a small feature-set :huh:
What would you want to use it for? Or would a command-line enabled version (with somewhat formatted output) suffice?
