Method #2: The i-want-to-see-the-code way.
Note: To avoid any unwanted hassles, you can easily run the code on Google Colab.
1. Let’s install the necessary packages
Inorder to do this, please run the commands on screen.
pip install fuzzysearch
pip install fuzzywuzzy
pip install textdistance
OR
If you’re using anaconda, please follow:
conda install -c conda-forge fuzzysearch
conda install -c conda-forge fuzzywuzzy
conda install -c conda-forge textdistance
OR
If you want to copy my exact anaconda environment, run: (This is not really necessary) (Also, do this after downloading the repository)
conda env create -f src/environment.yml
Note: Only the fuzzysearch library is actually required to perform the fuzzy search operation. Rest of the libraries have been used only for further testing.
2. Now let’s run the code
Download the code using this command and set current location as the directory.
!git clone https://github.com/abhishek-choudharys/FUS-E.git
cd FUS-E
If you want to see the results on pre-defined input file by entering the keyword, just run test_keyword.py.
You can enter your search query here, based on largeText.txt.
run src/test_keyword.py
If you want to test it on your input file, run test_customFile.py.
Enter the address of the text file when prompted, and then enter your query.
run src/test_customFile.py
Results:
A couple of snapshots demonstrating the search.
