In This Topic

Gets the subset of all strings in this set that are found to be similar to the given string using the specified string similarity context.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Function GetSimilarStrings( _
   ByVal str As System.String, _
   ByVal context As NStringSimilarityContext _
) As INSet(Of String)

'Usage
 
Dim instance As NStringSet
Dim str As System.String
Dim context As NStringSimilarityContext
Dim value As INSet(Of String)
 
value = instance.GetSimilarStrings(str, context)

public INSet<string> GetSimilarStrings( 
   System.string str,
   NStringSimilarityContext context
)

Parameters

str: The string to search similar strings for.
context: The string similarity context that provides information for the edit distance budget and the cost of the various edit operations.

Remarks

The similarity is determined by the edit distance (a.k.a. Damerau–Levenshtein distance) of the strings, i.e. the number of insertions, removals, substitutions and transpositions of adjacent characters needed to transform one of the strings to the other.

Requirements

Target Platforms: Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 7, Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later)
