Document

Compares two strings based not on the strings themselves, but on an encoding of the two strings using the StringEncoder this Comparator was created with.

Usage

From source file:LanguageUsage.java

public void start() throws EncoderException, DecoderException {

    String word1 = "Wilson";
    String word2 = "Wylson";
    String foreignWord1 = "Otto";
    String foreignWord2 = "Auto";

    Soundex sndx = new Soundex();
    DoubleMetaphone doubleMetaphone = new DoubleMetaphone();

    System.err.println("Soundex Code for Wilson is: " + sndx.encode("Wilson"));
    System.err.println("Soundex Code for Wylson is: " + sndx.encode("Wylson"));

    // Use the StringEncoderComparator to compare these two Strings
    StringEncoderComparator comparator1 = new StringEncoderComparator(sndx);
    System.err/* w w w.  j a  va  2 s  . c o  m*/
            .println("Are Wilson and Wylson same based on Soundex? " + comparator1.compare("Wilson", "Wylson"));

    System.err.println("Are Auto and Otto same based on Soundex? " + comparator1.compare("Auto", "Otto"));

    StringEncoderComparator comparator2 = new StringEncoderComparator(doubleMetaphone);

    System.err
            .println("Are Auto and Otto same based on DoubleMetaphone? " + comparator2.compare("Auto", "Otto"));

    System.err.println(
            "Double Metaphone primary code for Schmidt: " + doubleMetaphone.doubleMetaphone("Schmidt"));

    System.err.println(
            "Double Metaphone secondary code for Schmidt: " + doubleMetaphone.doubleMetaphone("Schmidt", true));

}
