Hello,
I am looking at YuPcre2 for some work I am starting. I need to determine
the likelihood that a given business name is really business Name 'X'.
For example, does 'University of Chicago' really match 'Chicago University'.
As such, I am looking to see HOW MANY tokens in PATTERN are matching STRING.
For example, assume I want to match as many as possible the tokens, 'one',
'two' and 'three'.
I can use '^.*\b(one|two|three).*$' to match any of the tokens.
I can use a different string to match ALL the tokens.
What I really want to know, of the tokens 'one', 'two' and 'three', HOW MANY
were matched?
I can be a little more discriminating and say a MINIMUM of two must be
matched.
(.*\b(one|two|three)\b){2,}
But again, I don't know if this matched 2 or 3 of the tokens. Is there a
way to get this information?
Thanks,
George S
