Hi,
I am stuck at a problem of name matching. Two names will be considered same if they fulfil following criteria:
- If they have equal number of parts. For example, “Santos Kumar Tiwari” and “S K Tiwari” have three parts
- The last part should be equal. Here both name has last part as “Tiwari”
- The initial letter of each part should be equal
So, in this way: Santos Kumar Tiwari, Santos K Tiwari and S Kumar Tiwari are same ( all have same last names, same number of parts and each part start with same letter). To indicate they are similar, I need to assign them any numerical number, for example, 1 to all these three numbers .
I have also attached the sample for your convenience. I am really stuck and cannot do my research further because of this.
Regards
Santosh
