Hi there,

I'm still looking for an algorithm, implemented in XSLT, for fuzzy string comparison. There must be someone out there who has had do deal with that...

What's fuzzy string comparison?
You can do the string comparison in XSLT as you do normally like numbers
TypeCast the value before you compare like string(nodename)=string('ss')

Maybe you should take such an algorithm from a programming language you know very well and try then to translate it step-by-step to xslt.
Like:
if = xsl:if
if-then-else = xsl:choose/when/otherwise
....and so on, most of the time you will have to make workarounds and this is going to be a damn big xslt-stylesheet.
Or you look for an Java-function on the net wich does that and take that to build an extended:xslt-function, but i dont know much about that.

Best thing is probably to do that in another prg.language. xslt just isn't build for something like that.
