lev_score_multiple: Score multiple candidate strings against a single input

In levitate: Fuzzy String Comparison

Score multiple candidate strings against a single input

Description

Given a single input string and multiple candidates, compute scores for each candidate.

Usage

lev_score_multiple(input, candidates, .fn = lev_ratio, ..., decreasing = TRUE)

Arguments

input	A single string
candidates	One or more candidate strings to score
.fn	The scoring function to use, as a string or function object. Defaults to lev_ratio().
...	Additional arguments to pass to .fn.
decreasing	If TRUE (the default), the candidate with the highest score is ranked first. If using a comparison .fn that computes distance rather than similarity, or if you want the worst match to be returned first, set this to FALSE.

Value

A list where the keys are candidates and the values are the scores. The list is sorted according to the decreasing parameter, so by default higher scores are first.
