Hi, there's the levenshtein distance algorithm which will help you determine which string is one "edit" close to another (since all your strings are of length 3, then the distance will inevitably be a single replacement if of size one).
Don't know if that helps, anyway here's a compact functional implementation: https://gist.github.com/828413 2011/5/30 joshua-choi <[email protected]>: > Let's say that I have a set of strings, each three English letters > long. > > How can I determine which strings differ only at one location (e.g. > "xxe" and "xbe")? > > Right now, I'm writing a loop that sequentially compares every string > to every other string.
