In the demo app you can search Array 'MyStr()' for a text entry that matches your search string by sounds-like using the Chapman Matching Soundx routine.
This returns only a single match and not several possible matches. How can we record all similar sounding matches?
The obvious method would be using an array pointer...
for pointer= 1 to end-array-value
sim.ABFindBestMatch(MyStr(pointer), "search-for-this-string", 1)
'match will be saved using array 'pointer' value
next
But using 'MyStr(pointer)' returns an error!!! The correct form is simply the array name with no pointer. So there seems to be no way of knowing which array entry was matched.
Any ideas, anyone?
