Need to search for similar strings in a large text file - detects distortions, e.g. get lists like "New York", "Newyork", "Neww York", "Few York", "Ewe Pork", etc.

Like to get frequencies: "New York" {67}, "Neww York" {12}, ... assuming 67 occurrences of "New York" in the file

Like to get line numbers where occurring: ... "Neww York" {2 - 12,144} ... assuming this string occurring on lines 12 & 144

Handle matches not starting on word boundary: "Anew York" matches "New York". "Anew York" would probably have its own separate list (can we link across lists?)

NOTES:

1. Minimum length of string should be a parameter.

2. How much distortion to tolerate? i.e. depending on distortion accommodated, "hello" may match "goodbye".

3. Probably would have to be broken down into separate scripts!

4. Flexible on output format

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
