In fact, it is better than regular expression matching in certain cases. Come to think of it, our entire human brain works on fuzzy matching.</p> <p>Take handwriting, for example, everyone can read each other&rsquo;s handwriting as long as it&rsquo;s legible. That&rsquo;s fuzzy matching on an organic level.</p> <p>I had a problem where I have a string of text, and I wanted to match the substring with other string but the issue is that the substring varies from string to string and I cant predict the proper substring to do a regex matching. So suddenly out of the blue I got an idea to do a fuzzy matching.</p>
