I'm reaching out looking for pointers as I'm starting to brainstorm ideas how to handle a task that has been presented to me. We receive a set of data that has a manually entered piece to it so, therefore, we can receive a file that has the entries "ABC Movers", "A.B.C. Movers", or "ABC Mvoers". We would like to maintain a list of what we know the value should be (i.e. ABC Movers) and have any variation that is close to it change to show the correct value. I started some research and came across the soundex function but I'm not sure how reliable that can be or if it is the best way. Does anyone have experience in doing something like this?
