I am looking for any characters in the string. ex.. dfr SomeCommand => different dfn SomeCommand => different drnt SomeCommand => different vrb SomeCommand => abbreviation vxpd SomeCommand => dabbrev-expand Thus the idea is provide multiple reference points for a string and strings should be from limited scopes. How difficult is to develop something like this? Any hints would be useful. Thanks, [artist]
