I used three files created with LibreOffice and save it like xlsx file type.
All of these files come with the column A fill with strings of characters, in this case, numbers.
The script will read all of these files from the folder named xlsx_files and will calculate Levenshtein ratio and distance between the strings of name of these files and column A.
Finally, the result is shown into a graph with matplotlib python package.
Let's see the python script:
import os
from glob import glob
from openpyxl import load_workbook
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
def levenshtein_ratio_and_distance(s, t, ratio_calc = False):
""" levenshtein_ratio_and_distance - distance between two strings.
If ratio_calc = True, the function computes the
levenshtein distance ratio of similarity between two strings
For all i and j, distance[i,j] will contain the Levenshtein
distance between the first i characters of s and the
first j characters of t
"""
# Initialize matrix of zeros
rows = len(s)+1
cols = len(t)+1
distance = np.zeros((rows,cols),dtype = int)
# Populate matrix of zeros with the indeces of each character of both strings
for i in range(1, rows):
for k in range(1,cols):
distance[i][0] = i
distance[0][k] = k
for col in range(1, cols):
for row in range(1, rows):
# check the characters are the same in the two strings in a given position [i,j]
# then the cost is 0
if s[row-1] == t[col-1]:
cost = 0
else:
# calculate distance, then the cost of a substitution is 1.
if ratio_calc == True:
cost = 2
else:
cost = 1
distance[row][col] = min(distance[row-1][col] + 1, # Cost of deletions
distance[row][col-1] + 1, # Cost of insertions
distance[row-1][col-1] + cost) # Cost of substitutions
if ratio_calc == True:
# Ration computation of the Levenshtein Distance Ratio
Ratio = ((len(s)+len(t)) - distance[row][col]) / (len(s)+len(t))
return Ratio
else:
return distance[row][col]
