Actually released a while ago, but hey.

http://rubyforge.org/proj...

gem install text

Soundex, Metaphone, Double Metaphone, Levenshtein, and Figlet
algorithms all under the same roof. Any suggestions for anything to add?

Awesome! Thanks for making this much needed library. This gives
everyone the chance to create simple yet effective interfaces based
solely on text-based input (e.g. Google), instead of laboring over
the same old heavy-weight GUI interfaces.

Porter stemming is the only standout that I can think of which might be
useful in addition... Google says there's one here:

http://www.tartarus.org/martin/PorterStemme...

It's public domain code, according to
http://www.tartarus.org/martin/Port....

There is also a Ruby interface to WordNet, although I'm not sure how
current it is.

Version 1.1.0 now includes the Porter Stemmer. Thanks for the
suggestion Alex!

Sorry for the dumb question, but I couldn't find ANY documentation in
the Text gem directories so I'll ask here. How do you include and use
this libarary? I think that "require_gem 'Text'" works but how do I
then use it? When I try:

Text::Levenshtein(str1, str2)

or

Text.Levenshtein(str1, str2)

...I get a "undefined method `Levenshtein' for Text:Module"

Thanks for the help.

Not a dumb question, seeing as the documentation isn't actually
included in the gem. I'll fix that in the next release. For
Levenshtein, the following should work:

require 'rubygems'
require 'text'
Text::Levenshtein.distance(a, b)

You can also view the main README here:
http://rubyforge.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/README.rdoc?revision=11&...

Hope that helps!

I uploaded the currents docs to the project web space a few days ago.

http://text.ruby...

It makes for easier browsing there, I think.

Also, a mixin for String that provided method interfaces to all these
would be cool. Eg.

module TextMix
def double_metaphone
Text::Metaphone.double_metaphone(self)
end
...
end

class String
include TextMix
end

And while not exactly in the same category, it might be close enough --
maybe add Dresner which is simply:

str.gsub(/\B\w+\B/){$&.split(//).sort_by{rand}}

Very cool. Thanks. I had a couple of these in separate libraries.
This is nice.
