Search in a list of items (names) for duplicates and display the percentage of the matchmaking - (Moved)

[Nerdscream]

Hello people, 

I want to build a script/soft that will run through a list of names and check for duplicates and display the matchmaking score. 

For instance, if I insert the names Mike, Ron and Mark, the results should show

Mike - Mark - 50 % (the letters M K )

Mark - Ron - 25 % (letter R)

Is it possible to do such a thing?

Yes ofc it is possible, but I am unsure about the second %

Mark - Ron - 25 % (letter R)

Shouldn't that be 28.6 %  (2 R out of 7 letters) ?

It was just an example, not an accurate %

As @Nine said, it is possible, but you should post the script you made

In case you didn't have one yet, take a look at File* or _File* functions to read the content of the file, and StringInStr() to check if the names you're looking for are in your file.

The last part is the one when you need to extract just the first letter of the names, so, first do/post your script

@Nerdscream Using _Array* you could do it in under 10 lines of code

@Nine
It can be done in one line

Sounds like a game of "Name that tune" or in this case "Shorten that code".

For the "matchmaking" part you may read this post and use the code I provided.
