Find hamming distance between many strings

Description

Find hamming distance between many strings

Usage

hamming(strings1, strings2 = NULL, oneToOne = FALSE, cutoff = 99999, vocal = 0)

Arguments

strings1	vector of strings to compare to strings2 (or as strings1 x strings1 if strings2==NULL)
strings2	vector of strings to compare to strings1 or NULL (either strings1 or strings2 should be 1 or should have equal lengths)
oneToOne	compare strings1[1] to strings2[1], strings1[2] to strings2[2],... (both vectors must be same length)
cutoff	an integer giving a distance to stop checking beyond and instead return the cutoff value
vocal	Integer to display a status message every vocal iterations

Value

Hamming distance matrix
