WHAT IS SOUNDEX? Soundex is a system that was developed by the United States government to aid in searching their vast databases of people. It allows searching by how a name sounds rather than how it is spelled. For example: Imagine a telephone operator listening to someone pronouncing their last name. Wouldn't it be nice if they could find the person in their database by how it sounds so they don't have to ask them to spell it out? The soundex system achieves this by converting a last name into a 4 character identification string. For example: My last name is Ronge but after people here me pronounce it they think it is "Runge". Using the soundex system as far as the computer is concerned "Ronge" and "Runge" are the same. WHAT DOES THIS MODULE DO? The REALbasic module contains a 3 useful methods: convertToSoundex, exactSoundexComparision and soundexComparision. convertToSoundex - Converts the name to soundex so you can store it exactSoundexComparision - Provide it with two last names...
