hello

for school I have to make a program witch compairs strings. I thought of a love tester, witch compairs the stings in your and your loves name, and makes a formule with it and gives a percentage of how much your love is. It's a stupid program, but it has to be done. So is there a code witch compairs the letters in eatch name. For example:

Berry + Lieke = only the "e" stands in both names

We're all Christ and we're all Hitler.We want Christ to win.What would he've done if he had advertisements, T.V. and newspapers?The miracle today is communication.So let's use it.-John Lennon '69

just put all the letter of both work in an array..and compare it in the array...:

+ Code Snippet

dim letter$1(20)
dim letter$2(20)
word1$="asdf"
word2$="deaf"

for i=1 to len(word1$)
  letter$(i)=MID$(word1$,i)
next i

for i=1 to len(word2$)
  letter$(i)=MID$(word2$,i)
next i

or...do it like that...

+ Code Snippet

letter=0
dim letter$1(20)
dim letter$2(20)
word1$="qwertyi"
word2$="asdfghiiii"

for i=1 to len(word1$)
  for j=1 to len(word2$)
    if MID$(word1$,i)=MID$(word2$,j) then letter=letter+1:exit
  next j
next i

print letter
