Re: How fuzzy is get_close_matches() in difflib?

I suppose you are right. I guess I ended up with an odd case. I was thinking that: To change "HIDE*S*ST1" to "HIDE*D*ST1", all you do is remove the "*S*" from the source and the "*D*" from the target. In order to change "HIDE*SC*T1" to "HIDE*DS*T1", I thought you have to remove 2 characters *SC
