i have a string. For example 'Hamam Soap 50g' . and i have a dictionary collection with two columns (Product Name, Product Code). I want to search a particular product in dictionary collections if the product match , i need to get the product code for that matching product..

  Product Name              Product code

  Hamam Soap 100 gram       123433
  Medimix Soap 50 g         942488
  Hamam Soap 50 gram        954878

My sample dictionary collections shown above.. I need to get the product code. for that particular product 'Hamam Soap 50g'. but the difficulty here is the string which i want to compare with dictionary may be differ in some characters.. so i need to get almost matching product and its code.. can anyone help me how to write matching algorithm or is there any method available to get required code.

I am using Vb.Net..

Almost equals is a "fuzzy" search. – ProgrammingLlama Aug 29 '18 at 07:21

anyway you can use one of "fuzzy" string search shown [here](https://archive.codeplex.com/?p=fuzzystring) – styx Aug 29 '18 at 07:22
