How to check if two Strings are approximately equal?

Question

I\'m making a chat responder for a game and i want know if there is a way you can compare two strings and see if they are approximatley equal to each other for example:

Answer 1

See this question and answer: Getting the closest string match

Using some heuristics and the Levenshtein distance algorithm, you can compute the similarity of two strings and take a guess at whether they're equal.

Your only option other than that would be a dictionary of accepted words similar to the one you're looking for.
