[LUG] word similarities

[Neil Williams <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've been googling for this most of the morning but I can't find what I 
want. I thought it was Leishman.

What is the method for detecting similarities between words?

If I have a string:

My test account

How do I calculate the similarity with this string:

My testing account

and the dis-similarity with this string:

My other account


This will need to be in C.
